Shryaa never dreamt being in beauty pageant

Shyraa Roy said, “I was never aware about beauty pageants and I had never dreamt about being in a beauty pageant. Especially for transwomen, representation is very less, so how could one even think about a beauty pageant! When I heard about a beauty pageant taking place for Trans Women, I thought I’ll apply and see what happens. But when I won the title, it was unbelievable and I was shocked and I’m still amazed that something like this is even possible!

Shyraa says “I was happy yet crying as it felt like I was finally celebrating my true self. I’m pretty sure after this historic change there will be a noise in Pakistan as well as a strong representation of Pakistan’s Trans Community in the world for years. This has definitely broken all kinds of stereotypes for trans women.”

Trans people are forced to beg in the street and are denied of basic human rights. Shyraa is a strong advocate of trans rights and her aim is to develop the skills of the underprivileged transgender community.

She says, “My advocacy is human welfare and transgender rights, and my aim is to help the underprivileged transgenders.”

President of Miss Pakistan World as well as the newly formed Miss Trans Pakistan Sonia Ahmed, said, “The Miss Trans Pakistan title is a very important title, as we have now understood that the transgender community needs to be represented through various platforms, and a beauty pageant is one of them. I am very excited after a long time as it gives me great pleasure to give a voice and representation to the transgender community through this platform”
