Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is set to receive the prestigious Women of Vision Award from the Ms. Foundation, the oldest women’s foundation in the United States. The award honours Meghan’s global advocacy to empower and advocate on behalf of women and girls, aligning with the foundation’s mission of advancing women’s collective power.
The award will be presented to Meghan at the Ms. Foundation’s annual gala in May at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan, alongside Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown. The gala will also honour four other women for their tireless work and accomplishments in the fields of women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as abortion activism.
The funds raised at the gala will go towards furthering the foundation’s equity-centered initiatives and advancing women’s collective power. Gloria Steinem, the co-founder of the Ms. Foundation and a journalist and social activist, will present the award to Meghan.
The Women of Vision Award is not the first honour that Meghan has received for her charitable work. She has been praised globally for her advocacy, and her and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation has provided nearly 13 million COVID-19 vaccines with partner Global Citizen and helped resettle nearly 175,000 refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan in the US with partner Welcome.US.
The award comes as Meghan has distanced herself from the Royal Family and taken on her own personal projects, using her platform to highlight social causes and injustices. A brand expert has praised Meghan for cleverly circumnavigating herself away from coronation scrutiny and being recognised as her own person.
Meghan will be in New York on May 16th to receive the Women of Vision Award in a virtual ceremony, presented by Gloria Steinem. While this will be the Duchess of Sussex’s first public appearance since skipping the coronation of King Charles III, it is a significant recognition of her philanthropy and activism, as well as a testament to the important work of the Ms. Foundation in promoting women’s rights and collective power.
