Miss Ukraine, which was declared Miss World and forced to drop the title, is suing for discrimination.

Veronica Didusenko was announced the winner of Miss Ukraine 2018. Four days after being crowned, she was forced to relinquish the title because Miss World, which is Miss Ukraine's parent organization, revealed she was divorced and had a son.

Didusenko told Euronews: "The fact that I am a mother is no problem. The fact that I have been married or have children does not in any way affect my abilities as a model, charity or Miss Ukraine. I want to change these rules so that beauty competitions can accept all women, celebrate them all alike. I think we all have the power to change discriminatory or archaic rules. "

Rules for participating in Miss Ukraine include ages 17-25, minimum length 168 cm, Ukrainian citizenship, single civil status, previously unmarried, no children, no criminal record.

In a statement, Yuri Ageiev, head of the Miss Ukraine committee, said Didusenko had accepted the rules at the time she submitted the application form. He also said that Miss Ukranine's busy agenda of winning was not appropriate for women with children because it "could negatively affect the growth of infants who are deprived of their mother's love."

Miss World organizers said in a statement that the rules were set with the aim of announcing a winner that "is free and ready to travel around the globe to help the sick and those in need usually for long periods. time in areas devastated by natural disasters. ?

Didusenko was not content with the arguments and said the rules made her feel ashamed and insulted. She hopes Miss World changes the rules and allows women with children or divorced to participate in the future.
