Mrs. Pakistan World is a beauty pageant for married Pakistani women[1] from around the world. It is held in Toronto, Canada. Its contestants are married women with mostly Pakistani heritage from Pakistan, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The winner represents Pakistan in international beauty pageants. The other pageant Miss Pakistan World is for single Pakistani girls.
History
Mrs. Pakistan World is the foremost beauty pageant for married women of Pakistani descent. Founder Sonia Ahmed created the pageant as a spin-off of the successful Miss Pakistan World in 2006.[2] The pageant organizer aspires to enhance the "progressive" Pakistani women's goal of achieving "liberation" in what they consider an oppressive society.[3]
The pageant allows delegates from around the world[4] to compete in the pageant[5][6] and move on to represent Pakistan in international pageants such as Mrs. World and Mrs. Globe.[7][8] Delegates must be of Pakistani origin with a valid Pakistani passport in order to compete.[9]
Titleholders
In the past few years there have been international pageants completed by Mrs. Pakistan World since 2007,when the pageant came into existence with Mrs. Pakistan World 2010 - Tahmena Bokhari[10] winning Mrs. United Nations 2010 in Negril, Jamaica.[11] This was considered a great win for the Mrs. Pakistan World company as this was the first title won by Pakistan in 8 years.
