Quote of the day by Meghan Markle "Women need a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there, and in some cases, where this is not available, they need to create their own table. We need a global understanding that we cannot implement change effectively without women's political participation" offers a powerful reminder about women, leadership and the importance of having a voice in decisions that shape society. In a speech at a UN Women conference in 2015, Meghan Markle spoke about women's political participation and argued that women should not simply wait for opportunities to be handed to them.
