Meghan Markle delivered an emotional speech in Geneva on Friday 17 May, unveiling a memorial to children who died following online abuse, but photographs from the event show the Duchess of Sussex addressing what appeared to be a small crowd. Her appearance at the Place des Nations, outside the United Nations' European headquarters, formed part of a campaign highlighting the dangers of social media for young people.
The event marked the European debut of The Lost Screen Memorial, a travelling installation created by Archewell Philanthropies and the World Health Organization (WHO). First shown in New York in April as part of the 'No Child Lost to Social Media' campaign, the memorial consists of 50 illuminated light boxes, each displaying the lock screen of a child said to have died following online violence or digital harm. The installation will remain in Geneva until Wednesday 22 May, timed to coincide with World Health Assembly week.
