Markle also spoke about her own experiences as a woman and a mother. She said that she is committed to using her platform to advocate for women’s rights and equality.

“I am a woman, a mother, and a wife,” Markle said. “I am also a feminist. I believe in the power of women and girls to change the world. I am committed to using my platform to advocate for women’s rights and equality.”

The Women of Vision awards are presented annually by the Ms. Foundation for Women to women who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women’s rights. Past recipients of the award include Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Malala Yousafzai.

Markle’s acceptance of the Women of Vision award is a powerful statement about her commitment to women’s rights. She is a role model for women and girls around the world, and her work will continue to inspire and empower them.
