Beauty pageants have always been about empowerment, leadership, and using one’s platform for positive change. Contestants are encouraged to advocate for important causes, speak up for their beliefs, and be role models for young women worldwide.

 

But there’s a difference between using your voice to promote awareness and using your influence to spread hate.

Recently, Lenka Vomocil, a former beauty queen and current mentor for Miss World, Miss Universe Cambodia, Miss Grand competitors, Miss Czech Republic, and other global pageant organizations, has been publicly glorifying war-related activism in children’s video games.

 

She celebrated over 120,000 children participating in pro-Palestinian protests inside the online game Roblox, normalizing the use of young kids in political activism tied to war and conflict.

 

Let’s be clear: Everyone has the right to speak about political issues. But no one has the right to use their influence to encourage children to engage in war-related activism, normalize hate, or manipulate young minds through digital spaces.

Why This is Dangerous

🔴 Exploiting Children for Political Activism is Unethical

No matter what side of a conflict someone supports, children should never be used as tools in real-world or digital activism related to war. They are innocent, and exposing them to political conflict at such a young age only fosters division, hatred, and indoctrination.

🔴 Video Games Should Be a Safe Space, Not a Battleground

Gaming platforms like Roblox are meant to be places where children can learn, create, and have fun—not spaces where they are drawn into activism related to war. Encouraging children to engage in political conflict through online games sets a dangerous precedent.

🔴 Pageant Coaches Should Inspire, Not Spread Hate

As public figures, beauty pageant mentors have influence. They should be using that influence to promote dialogue, education, and positive change—not to spread propaganda that glorifies conflict.

🔴 This is Not Just About Lenka – It’s About Pageantry’s Integrity

Lenka Vomocil is not just an ordinary pageant coach—she works with global titleholders and national winners and has even served as a judge for Global Beauties.

By allowing someone who normalizes hate speech to remain in positions of influence, pageant organizations risk damaging their credibility, encouraging bias, and undermining their mission of global unity.

 

This is not about silencing political discussions. Many pageant queens, including myself, use our platforms to advocate for the issues we believe in. But there is a clear line between advocacy and hate.

What We Demand 

We call on Miss Universe, Miss Grand International, Miss World, Miss Czech Republic, and all affiliated organizations to:

✔️ Publicly condemn the use of video games to expose children to war-related political activism.

✔️ Ensure that individuals representing or mentoring contestants uphold values of empowerment, education, and responsible leadership.

✔️ Take immediate action against Lenka Vomocil for using her platform to spread hate and normalize political extremism through children’s platforms.

Hate speech should have no place in pageantry, children’s digital spaces, or any professional leadership role.

Beauty pageants should inspire, not divide.

We urge all organizations working with Lenka Vomocil to cut ties with her immediately and to ensure that pageantry remains a space of leadership, empowerment, and inclusivity—not hate.
