Miss Ukraine Veronika Didosenko

This is not the first time Didusenko has spoken up about issues on behalf of women. Just days after she was crowned Miss Ukraine 2018, she was stripped of her title for being a divorced mother, which is against entry requirements. She has since started the nonprofit Right to Be a Mother, in the hopes of changing the rules for the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants. On Tuesday, First Lady Jill Biden also spoke out in support of Ukrainian women.
