Hammerslaght shines at Mrs Universe, wins two awards
Beauty queen Ansua Hammerslaght won two awards at the Mrs Universe pageant, held in Sofia, Bulgaria, last weekend. She brought home the award for best presentation of domestic violence as well as a bravery award.
This according to a press statement by Green Enterprise Solutions.
Mrs Universe is an annual international event for 'the most honourable married woman', first organised in Sofia in 2007. The event is open to married, divorced and widowed women from around the world who are between the ages of 18 and 55, and who have a family and career, and are involved in a significant cause.
"Hammerslaght has competed in numerous beauty pageants and we believe in supporting our colleagues and sponsored Hammerslaght in this very exciting pageant competition," the company said.
This year, the pageant's theme focused on gender-based violence (GBV).
On winning the award, she said: “I want to participate in these beauty pageants so I can create awareness of how GBV affects Namibia. The Mrs Universe pageant with its global reach allows me to tell Namibia’s story when it comes to GBV, and how we must affect change immediately.”
Kehad Snydewel, managing director of Green Enterprise Solutions, said: “We are so proud of Ansua and her participation in the pageant, as well as in previous similar competitions. She represents our values as a company and her engagement on societal issues such as GBV is something that we are very happy to support and sponsor.”
