History
[edit | edit source]In 2020, during COVID-19, the Miss Pakistan World pageant moved from Toronto Canada to Lahore, Pakistan. The first Miss Pakistan World crowned in Pakistan[3] in August 2020[4] was Areej Chaudhary.This allowed the pageant to expand to allow trans women to become part of Pakistan's pageantry.
The pageant[5] brought attention to the plight[6] of trans women in Pakistan through their titleholders.[7] The news of the crowning of the first Miss Trans Pakistan was the most read news in Pakistan and came in the top ten news[8] of the year in Pakistan's leading English newspaper[9] Dawn.
On 23 May 2021, Miss Pakistan World[10] announced that it would allow trans women to compete in a separate pageant called Miss Trans Pakistan.[11] On 23 May 2021,[12] the first Miss Trans Pakistan was announced. The crowning ceremony took place in Lahore, Pakistan on 25 May 2021.[13]
Shyraa Roy[14][15] became the first trans woman to win the Miss Trans Pakistan 2021 title.[16][17]
On Jan 31, 2022, the crowning ceremony of Miss Pakistan was held in a much bigger way and new titles[18] were introduced.[19][20]
On May 31, 2023, the next transgender girl crowned by Areej Chaudhary on the soil of Pakistan was Alina Khan.[21] Khan was known for her role in the movie Joyland.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]
