The last time the name of the 36-year-old Canadian actress Megan Markle does not come off the front pages of the newspapers. The blame for everything is the upcoming wedding of the television star with the British heir to the throne of Harry. That is why any event taking place in Megan's life becomes public property. This was the speech of Markle at the UN, in which she remembered an interesting episode from her childhood.
Proctor & Gamble changed its mind
Not all fans of Megan know that for the first time she appeared on the big screen not with the beginning of her acting career, but much earlier. It turns out that the actress has always been a zealous defender of women's rights and already at 11 years old she tried to fight against sexism. This episode from her life, Mark recalled when she came to the rostrum of the next meeting of the UN. Here are some words she remembered an unusual case from childhood:
"Somehow, watching TV, I saw a rather strange advertisement. She was a pretty woman washing dishes with some kind of tool, and behind the scenes you could hear these words: "Women of all America are fighting with fat pans and pans ...". This slogan struck me so much that I decided to fight this injustice. My dad always taught me to write letters to influential people, especially when it was a general injustice. For a while I hesitated, but with every viewing of this commercial I knew I had to do something. Then I wrote two letters that were addressed to the leading television channel Nickelodeon Linde Ellerby and, at that time, the first Lady of the United States Hillary Clinton. In the letters, I explained my position in detail, stating that such advertising humiliates and offends women. To the great surprise of people around me, who were aware of this story, they reacted to my appeals, and in advertising the word "women" was changed to "people." Of course, this decision made me very happy, because it is very important that the rights of women are not infringed. "
Recall, after the appeal to Hilary and Linda, the question of the advertising text was greatly interested. Megan came home to the television group of the channel Nickelodeon and filmed a girl who decided to change attitudes towards women, a film that was released a few weeks after filming. The most interesting thing is that the manufacturer of the detergent, which was featured in the scandalous advertisement, was the famous brand Proctor & Gamble, but even such a giant drew attention to the opinion of 11-year-old Markle.

My mother taught me a lot
Fighting with injustice, Megan from the very childhood learned from her mother, who worked as a social worker. Here are words that characterize their relationship with this woman, Mark:
"Mom taught me a lot. Due to the fact that she worked in the social sphere, from the very childhood I heard stories about the needy, injustice to some people and much more about what. All these stories I took very close to my heart and eventually began to understand that I also want to live the life that my mother lives. She participated in various charitable trips, which she took me. It was in these travels that I realized how important it is to help people and fight things that do not suit you. Charity carries a lot of positive things, but it is very important that it comes from a pure heart. "
