DUBAI: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined forces with Malala Yousafzai this week to celebrate International Day of the Girl.
The pair took part in a live video chat with the Pakistani activist to discuss “the barriers preventing 130 million girls from going to school and why it’s essential that we champion every girl's right to learn.”
“When young girls have access to education everyone wins and everyone succeeds,” Markle said during the live chat. “It just opens the door for societal success at the highest level.
“It’s not just robbing a society of the cultural richness that comes with educating young girls,” she continued, “It’s also robbing these young girls of childhood.”
