Saman Hasnain 2nd Mrs. Pakistan World

Saman Hasnain (Urdu: سمن حسنین ), from Lahore Pakistan was crowned the 2nd Mrs. Pakistan World in December of 2007. Her reign marks great progression in the woman's liberation movement of Pakistan. Creator of the pageant, Sonia Ahmed pioneered her efforts through the sister pageant, Miss Pakistan World. Hasnain is preparing to compete in the Mrs. World 2008 and Mrs. Globe 2008 pageants throughout her reign.

Her platform covers many different issues, but her main focus is the education of youth, both in Pakistan and in her current residence in the US. Prior to her crowning, Hasnain has assisted in the building of a school for 1000 children in Pakistan, as well as been a strong supporter of DIL (Development in Literacy). She also is a regular volunteer at her children's school in San Francisco and aims to continue her mission to aid in the education of today's youth.

"I would like to change the world's perception of Pakistani women. It is important to raise funds and help resolve issues faced by Pakistan. I hope to act as a role model, and encourage, educate and motivate Pakistani women to help achieve a strong and progressive Pakistan," Hasnain says.
A loving wife, and mother of 2 boys, Hasnain will go down in history as one of the first married women to represent Pakistan on the international stage.
