The contestants choose to be a part of something like this, so there is no problem with it. You can tell by their smiles in the pictures that it has restored a sense of confidence within them. The most important thing, of course, is that it brings this problem-which I had no idea about until reading this story-to light. In the respective countries where the pageant was held, it may have expedited the campaigns to remove mines while presenting real females who have experiences the danger associated with them.
