Today's big news is the engagement of Meghan Markle to Prince Harry! Massive congrats to both. This is great for #5050Parliament & #AskHerToStand. Meghan Markle is a massive advocate of women's political participation and leadership. Watch her fab speech to the UN here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDvV-xfrqIM "Women make up more than half the world's population and potential. So it is neither just nor practical for their voices, for our voices, to go unheard at the highest levels of decision making. The way that we change that...is to mobilise girls and women to see their value as leaders and to support them in these efforts" Come to Parliament with 50:50 on 4 Dec to be inspired by our #AskHerToStand campaign.
