Zainab Jama, Miss World Somalia 2025, is not just a beauty queen—
She is a truth-teller.
A torchbearer.
A fierce, unflinching voice for girls the world too often tries to silence.
At just 23, Zainab did what many never dared to do on a global stage:
She stood tall and shared her truth as a Survivor of female genital mutilation (FGM)—a violent practice she endured at age seven.
Not for pity.
Not for applause.
But for every girl who is still being forced to bleed in silence.
Every girl who never got to say no.
Every girl who is told her pain is tradition.
With the full weight of history pressing against her,
Zainab stood with grace, strength, and purpose.
She made it clear: she is here to end the cycle.
Her “Beauty With a Purpose” project reaches beyond the runway—
It reaches into villages, homes, and hearts, spreading education, courage, and clarity.
She reminds us that beauty is not what the world sees on the outside.
Beauty is using your story—especially the painful parts—as a platform to save lives.
Zainab Jama is walking proof that Survivors don’t just survive.
We lead.
We rise.
We speak.
And when we speak, generations listen.
May her name be said with reverence.
May her story never be erased.
And may her mission to end FGM in Somalia and around the world echo louder than the silence that once tried to contain her.
