The contest wasn’t mainly focusing on looks, but on being a role model for other young people with HIV, on being able to advocate for the needs of young people, and to increase acceptance and understanding of young people living with HIV in society, especially Ugandans in UAE.
Before the event as the organisers were speaking out at the press conference that was hold back in October, it was announced that many Ugandans in UAE are living in fear after contracting AIDS as some even get infections in their places of residence popularly known as ‘Bed Space’ which prompted the organisers to raise awareness of and help the many victims.
