in Eilat, Israel.
"For all the young women competing, obviously it is very important to have a cause.
And for us this year, the one thing all competitors have said is that they all have green agenda. Global warming and
climate change hit every single one of the contestants, that knows no borders. So they are all going to be here.
We are working with our production team now to really talk about our green agenda. And what we're gonna do to
get the message and put a spotlight on what we need to do."
I am a little confused here. So we have a uniform cause for all candidates - the Green Agenda. So what happens now
to candidates who have advocacies like domestic abuse, HIV awareness, global poverty? Are they going to have both?
Or totally abandon the advocacy in favor of the Green agenda.
I looked for the meaning of advocacy and cause and they are somewhat similar. ADVOCACY involves promoting the
interests or CAUSE of someone or a group of people. An advocate is a person who argues for, recommends, or supports
a CAUSE or policy. Advocacy is also about helping people find their voice.

What’s awful is if these organizers start copying Miss Earth entirely, which isn’t the case. And no, these pageants are not declaring wars on Miss Earth. If they were they would’ve been quarreling over the pageant.

I think they're trying to avoid that controversy by giving them a noncontroversal cause so no one gets any ideas. There no one will probably be able to address the elephant in the room or it could cost them a placement.Because since when does Miss Universe ever specify to all the cause to take up? I don't remember that happening before.
