Introduction
When Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, announced their engagement in November 2018, the world was excited to see what the future held for this couple. The Duchess of Sussex has been a leader in women’s rights and has shown great compassion toward others around the world who have suffered oppression or violence. The Duchess of Sussex wore a black T-shirt with the Farsi slogan “Women, Life, Freedom” to show her support for women and girls in Iran. Meghan wore the top to a Women @Spotify event at the company’s Los Angeles headquarters, where she was joined by Iranian-American Arche well president Mandana Dayani and executive vice president of global communications Ashley Hansen.
“At an event today, Meghan spoke about the revolution being led by women and young girls in Iran, the courage and bravery they demonstrate every day, and their leadership and advocacy of basic human rights,” Dayani wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of images from the event. Protests have erupted across Iran in the aftermath of the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, 22, in September. She was arrested by morality police in Tehran for “improperly” wearing the mandatory hijab in public, and she died three days later. Authorities said she died of a heart attack, but reports say she was beaten by cops before going into a coma. According to Iran’s Human Rights Activists News Agency, more than 200 people have been killed since the protests began last month. Protests in Iran have drawn worldwide support, with celebrities such as Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, Charlotte Rampling, Jane Birkin, and Marion Cotillard shaving their heads in solidarity earlier this month.
The Duchess of Sussex has been outspoken about women’s rights in the past
Meghan has been outspoken about women’s rights in the past. In March 2018, she attended an event for Women’s Day and spoke out against gender-segregated scholarships at Oxford University (where she studied). She also started a Twitter campaign called #universalswag that encourages people to wear unisex clothes and accessories when they go out.
In April 2019, Meghan wore a slogan t-shirt to show her support for Iranian women who have been protesting against their government since 1979—a year after Iran’s Islamic Revolution overthrew the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s regime. Meghan Markle wore a T-shirt with a popular Farsi slogan to show her support for the women-led protests in Iran in the aftermath of Mahsa Amini’s death. The Duchess of Sussex wore the black gown with the words “Zan zindgi Azadi,” which translates to “Women’s life freedom,” to the Tuesday Women@Spotify event in Los Angeles.
The shirt was chosen from the Canadian Etsy story K&R World Design, where it is listed as a “Mahsa Amini T-shirt” with the description: “women’s rights T-shirt.” It was paired with black trousers. “Be Iran’s voice.” The mother-of-two “spoke about the revolution being led by women and young girls in Iran, the courage and bravery they show every day, and their leadership and advocacy of basic human rights: women, life, freedom,” according to Mandaya Dayani, president of Markle and Prince Harry’s non-profit Archewell. “As an Iranian woman who fled her home country in search of these very freedoms, I couldn’t be more grateful for how she chooses, time and again, to advocate for women around the world,” she added.
Royal Foundation Promotes Education for Girls
The T-shirt is sold with a special purpose. It was created by The Royal Foundation and Smart Works, two charitable organizations that work together to raise awareness of women’s rights in Iran.
The Royal Foundation promotes education for girls, healthcare for women and girls, microfinance for women and girls, job creation for youth and unemployed persons with disabilities and much more!
Meghan Teamed her T-shirt with a Pair of Ripped Jeans
Jeans are a staple of the wardrobe and can be worn with just about anything. They’re comfortable, and versatile and can be worn with just about anything. If you want to show off your style, then ripped jeans are a great way to do it!
Meghan wore her slogan T-shirt paired with a pair of ripped jeans to show her support for Iranian women and girls who face violence every day.
Meghan’s Style is Becoming more and more British
Meghan’s style is becoming more and more British. She has a new favorite T-shirt: “I Am A Girl.”
Meghan was wearing this same T-shirt when she met Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle last week (the first time they met).
Women Supporting Women is Awesome
The shirt is a tribute to Women’s Rights Day, which falls on Dec. 10 every year. It’s a day that celebrates the struggle of women to gain equality and freedom in society and also an opportunity for people around the world to show their support for women’s issues by wearing slogans or t-shirts with messages about gender equality.
In addition to supporting Iranian women, Meghan wore a shirt that said: “women supporting other women.” This message speaks volumes about her deep commitment to promoting equal rights for all genders and it looks great on her!
Conclusion
Meghan’s T-shirt is a great example of how women can support other women, no matter their background or status. The Duchess of Sussex has been outspoken about women’s rights in the past, and her style is becoming more and more British. We hope that Meghan continues to inspire others by wearing slogans with messages like “No One Is Illegal” on her T-shirts!
