Miss Refugee Utah is a prestigious platform celebrating the strength, resilience, and intelligence of refugee women from all walks of life. Our organization is built on a foundation of inclusivity, integrity, and fairness, providing a space where women can amplify their voices, share their unique stories, and inspire others. We believe in empowering refugee women to advocate for their communities and become leaders who campaign for causes that uplift the most vulnerable among us.
At both local and state levels, Miss Refugee Utah offers an unparalleled opportunity for participants to promote a platform of service and advocacy while honoring their cultural heritage. Refugee women who participate in our pageant have the chance to highlight the importance of community engagement, serve as role models for the next generation, and make a meaningful impact.
As Refugee women, we have witnessed firsthand the incredible journeys of these women—overcoming adversity, persevering through challenges, and emerging as empowered leaders in their communities. Miss Refugee Utah is a beacon of hope, allowing women to be seen, heard, and celebrated for their courage, intelligence, and contributions. This program is not just a competition but a celebration of the human spirit and the transformative power of community and service.
With several divisions designed to accommodate a wide range of ages and backgrounds, Miss Refugee Utah ensures that all participants have a space to shine and share their stories, providing a meaningful way to give back to the communities they call home.

Miss Refugee Utah, founded in June 2024, empower refugee women by giving them a platform to share their stories, build confidence, and engage with their communities.
Miss Refugee Utah was founded and funded by a mother and her two daughters-refugee women dedicated to uplifting others like them. As former refugee ourselves, we understand the challenges and triumphs of rebuilding a life in a new country. Our shared experiences drive our mission to empower, support, and give a voice to refugee women in Utah. Together, we are creating a platform where resilience, culture, and leadership are celebrated.
We are seeking remarkable young refugee women who embody resilience, strength, and a passion for making a difference. Our ideal participants are Utah residents between the ages of 18 and 28 who are pursuing or have pursued higher education and are committed to community service and advocacy. Whether single, married, divorced, or widowed, with or without children, these individuals are leaders in their communities, role models for future generations, and advocates for causes that uplift the most vulnerable. We celebrate women who embrace their cultural heritage, amplify their unique voices, and demonstrate a dedication to personal growth and service.
