Filipina Fuschia Anne Ravena was crowned Miss International Queen 2022 in Thailand. The 27-year-old business owner beat 22 other contestants to win the crown, with the second and third place going to contestants from Colombia and France, respectively. “My first message to everyone is to spread love and peace and unity because that is the most important thing that we do as of the moment and what’s happening in the world right now,” said Ravena who wore a glittery-silver evening gown. The pageant, which was halted for almost two years because of the pandemic, resumed in the Thai seaside town of Pattaya during Pride Month to also celebrate gender equality, said Alisa Phanthusak, the CEO of Miss Tiffany Show, the organiser. The beauty contest brings together transgender people from around the world. It was launched over a decade ago to help transgender women feel more accepted by society.
