Missipomo Sunneva Sjögren tells People magazine in the interview that I lost the title Sarah Dzafcen The events that followed social media behavior have caused significant disappointment in Finland and the world.
Due to the situation, the removal of the Miss Finland title was necessary, as there were no longer any conditions to continue in representative duties.
– This decision is not an assessment of Sarah’s worth as a person, the Miss Finland organization says in a statement to People.
Dzafce receives discussion help and media training from the mission organization until September of next year. According to Sjögren, the 90-year-old Miss Finland organization does not want to leave the misses to cope with challenging situations alone.
The pageant who lost her crown will continue to be welcome at future pageant events, says Sjögren in an interview.
Hoping for a substantive discussion
Sjögren also commented on the themes of the interview on his own Facebook account.
– At this point, we are no longer just talking about a single organization, but also about what Finland looks like and what kind of nation we appear to be internationally, Sjögren says in a Facebook post where he talks about the interview he gave.
In the interview, Sjögren emphasizes an accurate, contextual and respectful public discussion, especially when the center of the case is a young woman who has become the target of both national and international attention.
– This moment shows how deeply the questions of identity and representation speak in Finland, Sjögren says in an interview.
