Miss Universe Cambodia 2024 is Davin Prasath
Davin Prasath was crowned Miss Universe Cambodia 2024 in a glittering national competition held on Thursday, August 29 in Phnom Penh.
The 33-year-old model, actress, and philanthropist succeeds last year's winner John Sotima, and will now prepare to represent Cambodia at Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico this November.
No stranger to pageantry, she previously joined the Universal Woman 2024 pageant last March and finished as third runner-up.
The new Miss Universe Cambodia made history as the first-ever married woman and mother to win the national title. She is also the oldest contestant from Cambodia to compete in Miss Universe since the Miss Universe Organization abolished age limits.
Davin will join fellow mothers from Honduras (Stephanie Cam), Malta (Beatrice Njoya), Puerto Rico (Jennifer Colón Alvarado), and Venezuela (Ileana Marquez Pedroza) at the 73rd Miss Universe.
"As a newly crowned Miss Universe Cambodia, I am a testament to the fact that dreams are not just a sculpture of our imagination but achievable realities," she said.
"As a mother, I feel more empowered than ever. Motherhood is not a barrier or a burden but a badge of honor. When I become a mother it's not the end of my dreams but the beginning of new ones," she added.
"To every woman out there, whether you are a daughter, a sister, a wife, or a mother, please remember you are powerful, capable, and worthy. Your dreams are valid, your ambitions are important and your potential is limitless."
