Three former Miss World queens Manushi Chhillar, Vanessa Ponce de León and Stephanie Del Valle Díaz have joined hands to raise awareness on the novel coronavirus. The initiative also aims to discuss how to battle the stigma of infection that is slowly on the rise.
The three former Miss Worlds will be using social media as a platform to discuss the steps taken by their countries to fight the new virus. They will also highlight the individual work they are doing in association with their government bodies to raise awareness on Covid-19.
Manushi has already been roped in by the Haryana State Government and UNICEF India to raise as much awareness among the people. Manushi has also spoken about the initiative, “At a time like this, whatever each one of us can do to raise as much awareness about Covid-19 in our respective countries and communities will be the key to stop this virus in its tracks. I wanted to tell people that we are in this together and what is happening in India is also happening in the rest of the world.”
“The pain we are witnessing with the loss of lives, the struggles, the hardships of Indians are similar to what is happening in every country of the world and the Miss Worlds from Mexico and Puerto Rico will speak on the same. We are one world and we can fight and heal collectively. That's the intent of this exercise”, Manushi says.
The beauty queens will also be discussing the importance of mental health at a time like this. This is, indeed, a strong initiative to be a part of.
