Meghan reassures young girls that they have the right to be heard and respected, stating, “We will do the same for you. It’s your right and our responsibility. Go get ’em, girl! Happy International Day of the Girl.”
The heartfelt message aligns with the mission of the International Day of the Girl Child, which seeks to raise awareness of the challenges faced by girls and emphasizes the importance of advocating for their rights.
In addition to the serene photograph, Meghan shared an adorable video clip of Lilibet joyfully running around on the grass, underscoring the unmistakable happiness of childhood. The footage, accompanied by cheerful music, invites viewers into the joyful world of the young princess, bringing smiles and warmth to those who engage with the post.
Observed annually on October 11, the International Day of the Girl Child was established by the United Nations to address gender inequality globally. The day promotes girls’ rights to education, healthcare, and their freedom from discrimination and violence. It aims to empower young women and amplify their voices on issues that significantly impact their futures.
The thoughtful post arrives shortly after Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, were honored as “Humanitarians of the Year” during Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala. Their commitment to advocating for mental health and social issues reinforces their dedication to creating a positive environment for current and future generations.
