Kira Kazantsev is a student at Hofstra University, speaks three languages​​: in addition to English, she is fluent in Russian and Spanish. Even during the contest “Miss New York” she chose the theme of the legal protection of women from domestic violence, her program was called “Love Should not Hurt”. “All of my public activities associated with women – with strength, power, influence, that they possess. I want every woman to know that no matter what happened in life, you should not despair. You can achieve anything you want, you have all possibilities to this.

For me it is very important. This is not just a platform, I chose it not only because Miss New York must have some sort of platform. I myself experienced the pain. And it is very important to talk about it … I got in a very difficult story, when I was in college. It was really an abusive relationship. I could get stuck on them to withdraw into myself, but I got out – and decided to use this experience for the benefit of other women who have experienced violence, decided to show them that if you want, if determined to get rid of the experienced trauma, you can do it and become a stronger, wiser, you will become happy, “- she said in an interview with Naomi Silber (ForumDaily) in March this year.
