A recent video from Miss Grand International 2024 has ignited controversy due to the participation of a Pakistani model. In the footage, the model, Roma Michael, can be seen walking the ramp in a bikini, sparking a significant backlash. While the global movement toward women’s empowerment and the dismantling of societal taboos continues, this incident has prompted heated debates about women’s rights in Pakistan, with many condemning the negative online comments.
Initially posted on her Instagram, the video was later removed by Roma Michael in response to the criticism. However, it had already been widely shared by that time. Some users praised her for showcasing boldness and confidence in her outfit, while others strongly condemned the inappropriate remarks made against her.
One user wrote, “Wow! #Pakistan is crossing barriers & Rules!! A Pakistani Model participated at the Miss World Grand Show.”
