Miss Trans Global is an annual international pageant for transgender women from all around the world, by trans women for trans women.
Miss Trans Global Pageant is an International Virtual Pageant for trans women from all backgrounds, stated to raise awareness on the plight of transgender and LGBTQ issues.
This is an opportunity to raise awareness for transgender women suffering worldwide who are struggling to survive at these difficult times of COVID-19 due to family rejections, homelessness, lacks of job and earning opportunity.
