Climate change, human rights and HIV AIDS were issues highlighted during the first judging of the Miss Galaxy Pageant in Nuku’alofa, Tonga.

Eleven contestants took their time answering questions on the three issues.   

The theme of the pageant is “Minority Group is a Priority when it comes to Climate Change.”

Digicel is once again the main sponsor of the annual pageant which is aimed at celebrating the diversity, creativity and talent of LGBT fakaleiti communities in Tonga.
