Miss Universe Pakistan Erica Robin’s remarkable journey amid controversy

Erica Robin, a resident of Karachi, has made history by becoming the first Miss Universe Pakistan. While her victory has been celebrated, it has also sparked a debate about whether beauty pageant winners should represent the nation. Conservative voices, including religious scholar Taqi Usmani and Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, have criticized Pakistan’s involvement in such contests. However, human rights advocate Asma Jahangir has defended Erica, arguing that the backlash is misogynistic and regressive. Despite the controversy, Erica remains determined to fulfill her responsibilities as Miss Universe Pakistan.
