Megan Markle is not the first time appealing to society through essays. The first attempt to convey her point of view, the girl carried out thanks to the British tabloid Elle, who published an essay of the actress on racism.

Megan, in the framework of the volunteer activities of the program World Vision, repeatedly visited the countries of Africa, India and Iran, so in her essay she relied on the experience of women and girls living in these territories.

At the beginning of the year, as part of the WV project, I visited Delhi and Mumbai, met with representatives of social organizations. The main topics of discussion were: gender discrimination, gender inequality at the legislative level and the issue of stigmatization of menstruation. As it turned out, many girls live with a feeling of constant shame, schools do not have toilet rooms for girls, where hygiene procedures could be carried out. Girls choose to stay at home on menstrual days, only to avoid playing sports at school and uncomfortable remarks from the side. As a result, the students lose almost 145 days a year, which has a significant impact on learning and progress.

Megan shared in the discussion, a catastrophic situation with hygiene items. Many girls, according to the actress, are forced to use pieces of cloth, instead of pads, not because I do not know about them, but because they can not afford them.

Many girls have reconciled with shameful reality and do not represent how it is possible to change the situation for the better. The vicious circle of restrictions on women's rights leads the girls of these countries to poverty, lack of rights and the lack of opportunities to become a full member of society.
