Meghan Markle Champions for Gender and Racial Equality Ahead of International Women's Day
The boycott led to many female workers at the Ford Motor Plant fight for equal pay. This movement also led to a women trades unionist demonstration in the capital's Trafalgar Square. By 1970, Britain's Equal Pay Act was born.
"I think specifically coming to your school made a lot of sense for me because of this social justice and the impact that it's rooted in," Meghan shared."It's not just on Sunday, not just on International Women's Day, but everyday... to remember the value that we all bring to the table," she explained.
"Being in Dagenham is incredibly profound. Because 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," she continued."... 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.
"Who wants to come and say what he thinks the importance of International Women's Day is," she asked."I know there's going to be one of you!"star explained her reasoning for bringing up a male student to the podium. "I think that is the point, in many societies it doesn't matter where you are, it's very easy to sometimes compartmentalise or silo this idea of International Women's Day solely being about women," she said."But it's not... it's about all of us.""For young men, to continue to value and appreciate the women in your lives, and also set the example for some men who are not seeing it that same way," she shared.
