She Wants To Help Single Mothers

Perez wanted to use her time in Miss World to help single mothers. She talked about this in an interview. "Being a mother is the most important job. It's the most important role but oftentimes, they are neglected. We fight so much, we talk so much about women empowerment so why don't we start with empowering our mothers, most especially those who go through so much difficulty to raise their families all on their own? Here in Miss World, we are given the chance to fight for causes and open up meaningful conversations about problems that are otherwise neglected. Here I am, hoping to bring light and to spark positive changes in the lives of single mothers."
