"Miss World 2024: Embracing Diversity and Glamour"
Apameh Schönauer, a 39-year-old Iranian-born mother, has been crowned Miss Germany 2024 after the pageant removed its age restriction, embracing inclusivity and empowerment. Schönauer aims to advocate for migrant women in Germany and has founded an organization to help oppressed women share their stories. This move towards inclusivity reflects a broader trend in beauty pageants, with other contests also embracing diversity, such as a plus-size Miss Universe contestant and a transgender woman winning the Miss Netherlands beauty pageant.
