Mexican model Fatima Bosch, who was crowned Miss Universe 2025, has spoken out with a statement on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Bosch, who, like millions of women worldwide, has personally experienced violence born of hate, disinformation, and the inability of some to see a woman shine without feeling threatened, stated that in the days following her coronation, she became the target of insults, aggressive messages, and unfounded disqualifications. She explained that while these attacks do not define who she is, they reveal a problem that women all over the planet face. "I received insults and violence for one reason only: because I won, because a woman with dreams, preparation, and heart decided to stand up and fight for what she loves," Bosch noted. Bosch reaffirmed that her reign will be focused on accompanying, making visible, and defending women who are going through situations of violence. "When one woman wins, she paves the way for thousands more," she expressed. The model dedicated a special paragraph to those who cannot speak or ask for help: "To all the women who feel fear today, who live with violence or have been silenced, I see you, I honor you, and I use my voice for you." Bosch made it clear that her coronation will not be just a title, but a platform for activism: "I reaffirm my commitment to continue defending women and fighting for a world where no one is attacked for who they are or for daring to shine." With this message, the Miss Universe 2025 made it clear that she does not intend to back down from virtual hate and will use her visibility for a greater cause. When a woman resists, we all resist. Buenos Aires, November 25 (NA) – Amidst a wave of attacks and questioning after being crowned Miss Universe 2025, Fatima Bosch reappeared on social media with a forceful message on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. According to the Argentine News Agency, the Mexican used her platform to reflect on the different types of aggression suffered by millions of women around the world, and especially on those she herself has received since winning the pageant. Bosch shared infographics on psychological, physical, and digital violence, accompanied by a personal text in which she pointed out that her recent experience is another example of how violence operates when a woman dares to occupy a place of visibility. "Today I want to raise my voice not as a beauty queen, but as a woman," she wrote at the beginning. She also emphasized the collective power that is built when a woman decides not to be silent. "When one woman raises her voice, we all raise our voices."
