'We are not meant to be breaking each other down; we are meant to be building each other up.'
July 14, 2020 - 17:17 BST Danielle Stacey The Duchess of Sussex spoke of the importance of"building each other up" as she delivered a passionate keynote speech at the virtual Girl Up Leadership Summit on Tuesday. Speaking from her Los Angeles home, Meghan, 38, said to young listeners: "Your generation is often referred to as digital natives, and you understand that our online world has the power to affirm and support as much as it does to harm.
She added:"Believing in true equality is not enough — it's going to take more than belief, we have to work for it every day; even when it's hard and even when it makes others feel uneasy. We have to speak up for ourselves and we have to speak out for others who struggle to be heard." A source close to the Duchess tells HELLO! that she strongly believes that the next generation of girls and young women have incredible power and have already shown themselves to be leaders beyond their years: on racial justice, climate change, mental health, civic engagement, public service, and much more. They are a generation that is challenging norms, enacting real-world change, and leading global movements.
Before marrying Prince Harry, the Duchess was long an advocate of women's rights and gender equality. The former Suits star delivered a powerful speech at the UN Women Conference in 2015, where she recalled writing a letter at the age of 11, asking a soap manufacturer to change its sexist TV advert. Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in March
