What do you think is the most critical issue in the world today that needs to be resolved and what solution do you propose?
Here are the answers of the Top 5:
Miss Grand International: Rachel Gupta
I believe the most critical issue the world is facing today is poverty due to overpopulation and lack of resources. Simply put, there isn’t enough for everybody on this planet. I think it’s time for world leaders to take accountability and to start promoting the idea of enough resources for everybody. We can do this by promoting birth control methods in the different countries. I come from a country India, where not everybody has access to food, water, education, and basic amenities, and this is true for most of the world. It’s time for us to stop fighting with each other and start respecting one other and making sure there are enough resources for everyone on this planet.
1st runner-up: Miss Grand Philippines Christine Juliane “CJ” Opiaza
The most pressing issue that we have today is the presence of civil war and violence. We can see all around the media that there are people dying, people suffering. You can see kids crying, their dreams are being shattered. How our differences makes us divided. I collect you all as you leave this place today to bring much more kindness, respect, and treat one another as human. We live in the same world, we breathe the same air, we are living in the same place. Treat one another as your brothers and sisters.
2nd runner-up: Miss Grand Myanmar Thae Su Nyein
The most critical issue that we are facing on this earth today is over use of plastic, which can damage to our climate change. Because our world started to happen a short time, day by day, and we should take care of ourselves. We overuse plastic all around the world. If we reduce, renew, recycle, and use more paper, then we can live longer on this earth. Love your Mother Earth.
3rd runner-up: Miss Grand France Safiétou Kabengele
I’m thinking about media because I think media doesn’t focus on the right subject. If us, as a voice, show to the world what can happen, people can be aware of events, war, and weaknesses of our planet. So as a voice, I think it should be great to talk about this event that media don’t talk about and thank you.
4th runner-up: Miss Grand Brazil Talita Hartmann
I believe the problem in this world is still the education. With education we can change lives, we can grow better. We have promote more scholarships, we have to help our kids to understand other language. I believe education is the key to a better world for a better solution for everyone.
