选美皇后因有孩子而被剥夺皇冠，现起诉世界小姐大赛

The crown came off, and — more than a year later — so have the gloves.

王冠掉了，一年多后，手套也掉了。

A Ukrainian beauty queen who was stripped of her title after pageant organizers learned she had a child is now suing the Miss World organization.

乌克兰一位选美皇后在选美组织者得知她有一个孩子后被剥夺了头衔，她现在正在起诉世界小姐组织。

Veronika Didusenko, 24 announced her intention to fight the pageant bosses on their “discriminatory” policy that prohibits mothers or married women from participating in the pageants.

24岁的Veronika Didusenko宣布，她打算就禁止母亲或已婚妇女参加选美的“歧视性”政策与选美老板进行斗争。

“I have launched a legal challenge against @MissWorld and this marks the new phase in our joint fight for justice,” she wrote on Instagram.

她在Instagram上写道：“我对@MissWorld发起了法律挑战，这标志着我们共同为正义而战的新阶段。”。

She says her argument hinges on the Equality Act of 2010, which “protects against discrimination based on certain characteristics, including marriage, maternity and sex,” she wrote.

她说，她的论点取决于2010年的《平等法》，该法“防止基于某些特征的歧视，包括婚姻、生育和性别。”她写道。

In September 2018, Didusenko, a divorced mother of one, won the Miss Ukraine pageant. But her reign didn’t last long. Four days later, the pageant poobahs stripped her of her title.

2018年9月，有一个孩子的离异母亲迪杜森科赢得了乌克兰小姐选美冠军。但她的统治并没有维持多久。四天后，选美比赛取消了她的头衔。

“In accordance with the rules for conducting the National Beauty Contest ‘Miss Ukraine,’ a person who wishes to take part in the National Beauty Contest ‘Miss Ukraine’ must comply, among other things, with the following requirements (valid for the period of the contest): — not / was not married; — has no children,” the Miss Ukraine organization said at the time.

“根据举办‘乌克兰小姐’全国选美比赛的规则，希望参加‘乌克兰小姐’全国选美比赛的人除其他外，必须遵守下列要求(比赛期间有效)：未婚;无子女。”乌克兰选美组织当时说。

Didusenko, who has a 5-year-old son Alex, said she was aware of the rule prohibiting mothers from entering the contest. But she insists pageant organizers encouraged her to compete anyway.

迪杜申科有一个5岁的儿子亚历克斯，她说她知道禁止母亲参加比赛的规定。但她坚称，选美比赛的组织者还是鼓励她参加比赛。

“Why should a woman be excluded from entering just because she’s a mother? It doesn’t make any sense,” she tells the BBC. “Being a mum doesn’t have any implication on my ability to be professional or be a successful model or do my job. So those rules didn’t make any sense to me.”

“为什么仅仅因为一个女人是母亲就不让她参加呢?这没有任何意义，”她告诉英国广播公司。“做妈妈对我的职业能力、成为一个成功的模特或做好我的工作没有任何影响。所以这些规定对我来说毫无意义。”
