Meghan surprised students at a school in London ahead of International Women's Day.
alum, 38, surprised students at the Robert Clack Upper School in Dagenham, East London, on Friday, March 6, which marked the 50th anniversary of Britain’s Equal Pay Act. Meghan was joined on stage by Geraldine Dear, a female worker at the Ford motor plant in Dagenham who went on strike for equal pay in 1968. The story coincides with the 2020 International Women’s Day campaign theme “EachforEqual.”
Meghan recognized the bravery of women in a heartfelt speech she delivered in front of the crowd of students. “As you can see with Geraldine and the other women who had the strength to really stand up for something that they knew needed to be done — is the best example of no matter how small you might feel, how low you may feel on the ladder or the totem pole, no matter what color you are, no matter what gender you are — you have a voice, and you certainly have the right to speak up for what is right,” Meghan said.
