It is a platform for the women of Bangladesh, where they will come forward in the service of humanity through a variety of social activities, including tackling various challenges along the way.
Currently, violence against women is one of the most serious problems in our society," she said. Through this step, it will be possible to take various steps to create public awareness against violence against women across the country. It is a matter of great pride for us that a representative of Bangladesh will take part in the Miss Universe pageant to show Bangladesh in the international arena and prove that the women of Bangladesh are as confident as the women of any other country in the world.
