“The courageous women in Iran who risk their lives every day to take to the streets and demonstrate for their freedom and rights”, these women are the role models of the new “Miss Germany».
THE Apameh Senauer walked on stage and answered the jury’s questions. A few minutes later she heard her name next to “new Miss Germany”. Along with the title, Senauer also received the ‘Female Leader Award’ which comes with a prize of 25,000 euros.
The new “Miss Germany” stood out among 15,000 women who applied and managed to be crowned the winner by sending a resounding message that women should march boldly, even when everything around them is hostile territory.
“Miss Germany” in the fight for women
Apameh Senauer is 39 years old and a mother of two children. He was born in Tehran and came to Germany at the age of six. She followed her dream and studied architecture, a profession she still practices today and of course will continue.
During the pageants, Senauer made it clear that she is staying steadfast in its commitment to the defense of women’s rights with an eye on Iran.
Apameh Senauer supports wronged and oppressed women through the Shirzan (Lioness) network. As she said at the pageant, her desire is to campaign for young women with an immigrant background in Germany and to offer her support in whatever way she can. As for her life motto? “Never give up”he repeated several times.
Since 2019, Germany’s beauty pageants have tried to turn around and get rid of stereotypical notions of female beauty. As oxymoronic as it sounds (and is) such a competition, in this new light, can play an important role and promote the new social standards.
This year, the previous age limit of 39 years did not apply to the beauty pageants for the selection of “Miss Germany”, as the oldest finalist was 42-year-old Minion Kovolik from Hamburg. Apameh Senauer did not wear a crown.
Germany’s national beauty pageants have decided to reward personality rather than toned buttocks strutting around in revealing bikinis. The “new beauty” is elsewhere and this is now clear, with no shortage of reactions to Senauer’s victory.
Somewhere among the loud applause, voices were also heard who believe that beauty pageants are (and should remain) a beauty contest and not a contest of political beliefs.
The racist comments were not absent from Platform X. “What we see here is not the arguably most beautiful woman in Germany but another unsightly attempt at cultural appropriation enforced in a politically correct way,” writes one user.
And if in the end we have to stick to one of the comments it would be this one about an outdated institution: “Are you really upset about who became Miss Germany and not about the fact that the event still exists?”
