On Sunday, Bahraini-Russian model Evlin Abdullah-Khalifa was officially named Miss Universe Bahrain 2022. The 24-year-old winner was followed up by first runner-up Lujane Yacoub and second runner-up Mariam Naji and Shereen Ahmed.
For the final Q&A, Evlin was asked “When do you think a woman becomes empowered?” to which she answered, “I think a woman becomes empowered when she knows herself, when she knows her values, and when she knows what she is capable of. An empowered woman is a role model of the people and whose actions lead to success. And I’m here to be that woman to lead all the people to success and believe in themselves.”

“My main purpose in life is to find success (and) to believe in myself because I struggled a lot with this problem in my life. And I realised that whenever you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. And I want to say to everybody watching to believe in themselves as well just as how me and my sisters believed in ourselves,” said Evlin in an interview.
