Éelected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais at the end of October, Sabah Aïb, 18, was immediately the target of a wave of racist comments online. A month later, in the midst of preparing for Miss France 2025, the young woman expressed her indignation.

EN BRIEF

  • Sabah Aïb, 18, elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais on October 20, 2024, suffered racist harassment on social networks after her victory.
  • Despite the shock of the attacks, she remains focused on the election of Miss France scheduled for December 14, 2024 at Poitiers.
  • Sabah Aïb takes a stand against harassment and proudly defends her multicultural roots, hoping to become the first Miss France of Maghreb origin.

Sabah Aïb, 18, was elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais on October 20, 2024. As soon as her victory was announced, the young law student was the subject of a wave of racist harassment on social media. Stunned by these attacks, she took a step back but today speaks about her shocking experience as she prepares for the Miss France election on December 14, 2024 at Poitiers.

Sabah Aïb: “Çit gave me a lot of visibility”

Interviewed at the end of November 2024 in Abidjan, where the preparation trip for the 30 Miss France candidates is taking place, Sabah Aïb returned to the wave of hatred she suffered. “ÇIt gave me a lot of visibility. There were only 10% bad comments, but they were the only ones talked about“, she notes.

However, the young woman does not hide her shock at these attacks: “My parents and grandparents were born in France. I have never had the slightest racist remark in my life, until this election. I did not expect this. I wasn't prepared for it.”

A shock and a misunderstanding

For someone who dreams of becoming the first Miss France of Maghreb origin, this surge of racism is a real shock. “I took a step back, but words have an impact“, confides Sabah Aïb, who nevertheless strives to remain focused on her goal. “I remain focused on Miss France, I put things into perspective“, she assures.

Her election as Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais had nevertheless been hailed as an event by the regional committee, which saw in her a candidate capable “of going very far“. But the young woman, “almost insolent ease and elegance” according to observers, did not expect such an outpouring of hatred.

A committed young woman

Aged only 18, Sabah Aïb is a second-year law student. The one who describes herself as “very empathetic” and who “hates injustices” wants to move towards family law. Passionate about dance, the young Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais also intends to take a stand against harassment, a scourge she herself suffered after her election because of her origins.

Faced with racist attacks, Sabah Aïb insisted on proudly recall her roots: “My name is part of my identity and it has nothing to do with my nationality. France is a multicultural country and having a name that comes from elsewhere does not change the fact that I am French“. A strong message from the one who could well become the first Miss France of Maghreb origin on December 14.
