Controversies

The pageant has been criticized by Pakistani feminist Amna Buttar of the Asian-American Network Against Abuse of Human Rights, who wrote in an email to the New York Times, "In Pakistan, we are trying to get basic rights for women: right to marry, right to divorce, equal opportunity for job and education, and issues like Miss Pakistan create problems for this movement. An average Pakistani young woman does not want to wear a bikini[130] in public, and for her it is important to have equal opportunity and all focus should be on that, and not on a pageant where only the elite can participate."[9] Sonia Ahmed, the president of Miss Pakistan World, defended the event as a movement for self-expression, saying that the participants have the freedom to do as they wish.[131] In 2006, Culture Ministry official Abdul Hafeez Chaudhry questioned the wearing[132] of bikinis[133] to represent Pakistan.[134]

In 2010 the organizers were criticized for holding the pageant in Ramadan and during the 2010 Pakistan floods.[135][136]
