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.[1] The pageant organizer aspires to enhance the "progressive" Pakistani women's goal of achieving "liberation" in what they consider an oppressive society.[2]
The pageant allows delegates from around the world to compete in the pageant[3][4] and move on to represent Pakistan in international pageants such as Mrs. World and Mrs. Globe.[5][6] Delegates must be of Pakistani origin with a valid Pakistani passport in order to compete.[7]
