During the final round of questions, Porchild was asked who she would choose to live as if she could live as a different woman for a year. Thailand's Antonia Porchild made it into the top 3 at Miss Universe 2023 on Sunday, along with Nicaraguan model Shaynis Palacios and Australia's Moraya Wilson. During the final round of questions, Porchild was asked who she would choose to live as if she could live as a different woman for a year.
"She (Malala) had to fight for women's education and all women had to fight to stand strong and be a change and a role model. If I could choose anyone, it would be her," the 27-year-old added. The other finalists were asked the same question, to which Ms. Palacios said she would choose the british writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft.
"I would choose Mary Wollstonecraft because she was the first woman to break the ground for women's rights," she said. Ms Wilson replied that she wanted to live in her mother's shoes because she was a "very strong" woman. "She was tough. She taught me to work hard. She taught me how to be brave, how to be strong.
