During her recent visit to Vancouver, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, revisited an organization close to her heart, Justice For Girls.
The charity, dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of young girls, shared a series of photos capturing Meghan's deep engagement in discussions with its members.
"Justice for Girls was delighted to have a return visit from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex," they expressed in their social media caption.
Accompanied by Jessica Lake and Lauri Thompson of the Lake family’s All One Fund, Meghan partook in heartfelt dialogues about striving for justice and equality for teenage girls facing poverty in Canada and globally.

A key focus of the discussion was on empowering girls and young women to take leadership roles.

They delved into their personal journeys for justice, with Meghan's genuine and empathetic approach leaving a lasting impression of support and inspiration on the young girls.
Since stepping back from senior royal duties with her husband, Prince Harry, Meghan has actively pursued philanthropic endeavors, particularly in Vancouver.

Meghan has previously collaborated with the United Nations, notably delivering a compelling speech on gender equality in 2015.
This dedication to advocacy has seamlessly integrated into her royal engagements, as seen in her various projects, including a workwear line supporting disadvantaged women and a cookbook project with the women of a London community kitchen. These initiatives underscore her ongoing commitment to uplifting and empowering women and girls around the world.

Canada holds a special place for Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, not only because of its proximity to their current home in Montecito, California, but also due to its personal significance.
The couple, known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made their first public appearance at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, where Meghan lived while filming the TV series "Suits."
Additionally, Vancouver holds fond memories for her family, as they spent their first holiday season as a family of three in 2019 with their son, Archie, on Vancouver Island, shortly before stepping back from their royal roles in 2020.
