'Women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there and in some cases, where this isn't available... they need to create their own table,' Markle said. WomensHistoryMonth - CNBC
Many may associate Meghan Markle with the hit TV show"Suits", or for her relationship with Prince Harry. But the American actress is also known for her commitment to championing women's rights.
"When I was just 11 years old, I unknowingly and somehow accidentally became a female advocate," Markle said at the UN Women's"20th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference of Women in Beijing" event in 2015. "So I went home and I told my dad what had happened, and he encouraged me to write letters, so I did."
When it comes to gender equality in the workforce and politics, a recent Global Gender Gap report by the World Economic Forum estimated that it could take as long as another 217 years before the world achieves gender parity. In that same study, WEF said that the political arena currently holds"the widest gender gap," yet is also demonstrating the most progress, despite a recent slowdown.
"In doing this, we remind women that their involvement matters, that they need to become active in their communities, in their local governments, as well as the highest parliamentary positions. It is just imperative."
