Here is the winning answer of Miss Peru during the Top 6 Question and Answer Round:

The jury José Castro asked Arlette, how would you use the title of Hispanic American Queen 2022 to address the problems that women in our countries continue to face in the fight for equality? To which she replied: Although feminism has indeed fought against machismo and so much patriarchy so that women have the benefits that we now have, it is true that there is still a lot to work on. I, as the Spanish-American queen, would work hand in hand with the organization to carry the message to all of the Hispanic American women are capable, we are strong, and we can do whatever is proposed to us; For this reason, we deserve respect, equality and, above all, justice.
