FROM GB:
An exclusive look at the stunning Miss Universe Peru 2020:
Janick Maceta @janickmaceta is 26 years old. She is an assistant audio engineer that currently works in one of the most prestigious production studios in New York, The Manhattan Center. She is a young entrepreneur and the co-founder of the record label Top of New York - T.O.N.Y. .
Before moving to New York, Miss Universe Peru started raising awareness and helping children that had become victims of sexual crimes and still lived silent in impunity. This led her to take courses given by the United States government, obtained state certification to work with children 1-4 years of age and become part of the Head Star Association, an institution that helps children in vulnerable situations.
She returned to Peru, and became the founder of the NGO called Little Heroes Peru, an entity created in favor of children who suffer or have suffered sexual violence and who have been silent victims of impunity. The objective of her organization is to obtain legal support, psychological and psychiatric treatment for children and their families, to ensure that Law 309020 (progressive implementation of the Gesell Chamber) does not become a dead law.
This is why she competed for the Miss Perú title not once but three times, she wanted to have a strong platform in which she could educate others about the current injustice many victims where experiencing without having a helping hand to guide them through the suffering.
She leads by example, and is a strong believer that change will only happen if we are able to take control and start creating that change. Injustice will prevail if we are just bystanders to actions we do not stand for.
Janick Maceta became the first virtually chosen Miss Peru and left her life in NY because of her will and believe that she could create a positive impact in the lives of those that had been silenced and help them regain control of their lives. Janick left her life to work for her country.
We must remember that in 2019 she competed in @misssupranational as a favorite for the crown and placed 4th. More experient, Maceta now has her eyes on the @missuniverse crown!
