Meghan has said that her mother raised her "to be a global citizen, with eyes open to sometimes harsh realities." Over the years, she has advocated for women's rights and worked extensively as an advocate for UN Women and with the HeForShe campaign; she gave a speech for International Women's Day and has traveled to Rwanda on behalf of the organization. She also traveled to Afghanistan to support the troops overseas.
In January 2016, Meghan returned to Rwanda as global ambassador of World Vision to bring attention to their World Water Day efforts. While there, she spent time with children at a refugee camp, an experience she called "as inspiring and affirming as you can imagine."
Prince Harry is reportedly a fan of her humanitarianism: a source says "Harry loves that she is so into philanthropy," and, "One of the first things they spoke about was all the work she does with shelter animals. He loves that she's so caring."
