Abstract

The article discusses the backlash faced by Roma Michael, a Pakistani Christian model, for wearing a bikini at the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant. The intense criticism highlights the deep-rooted conservatism in Pakistani society, where women's clothing choices are often seen as reflections of values and morality. The controversy surrounding Michael's outfit is part of a larger issue where women in Pakistan face judgment and backlash for their choices, whether participating in beauty pageants or expressing themselves freely. The article also touches on the broader challenges faced by women in Pakistan, including violence, societal expectations, and legal restrictions on women's autonomy. [Extracted from the article]
