SEARCH FOR PARAISU QUEEN 2024

I. RATIONALE
In recent years, the importance of diversity and inclusion has become increasingly
recognized in educational institutions worldwide. Universities have strived to create
environments that embrace individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and
orientations. One significant aspect of fostering inclusivity is through the hosting of
events that celebrate diversity and promote understanding among different
communities. Among these events, LGBT pageants have emerged as powerful
platforms for advocacy, education, and celebration within university schools.
Beyond the confines of the university campus, LGBT pageants serve as vehicles for
advocacy and social change. Through their visibility and influence, contestants can
raise awareness about important LGBTQ+ issues such as discrimination, inequality,
and violence. By sharing their stories and advocating for change, they inspire others
to become allies and activists in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. Moreover,
LGBT pageants provide opportunities for collaboration with campus organizations,
community leaders, and policymakers, amplifying the impact of advocacy efforts and
driving meaningful social change at the local, national, and even global levels.
By providing platforms for visibility, education, community building, and advocacy,
LGBT pageants contribute to the overall mission of universities to foster
environments of learning, growth, and social responsibility. As we continue to strive
for greater equality and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals, the hosting of LGBT
pageants in university schools remains an important step towards building a more
inclusive and equitable society for all.From celebrating diversity and identity to
empowering individuals and advocating for social change, these pageants play a vital
role in creating inclusive campus cultures where all individuals feel welcome, valued,
and respected.

II. OBJECTIVES
• To create a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals of all sexual
orientations and gender identities feel respected and valued.
• To increase awareness about LGBTQ+ issues, history, and culture among
university students and the broader community.
• To foster a sense of community and support among LGBTQ+ students, faculty,
and staff within the university campus.
• To challenge stereotypes and stigma associated with LGBTQ+ identities and
promote positive representations within the university community.
• To provide professional development opportunities for participants, including skills
development in event planning, public speaking, and leadership
