Duchess Meghan is sharing her own experiences with cyberbullying to help empower teen girls to navigate the digital world with confidence. She recently visited the youth leadership organization Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara to connect with young girls over the impact of online harassment.
During the visit, Meghan participated in activities and discussions about cyberbullying and the emotional toll it can take. She even tested out a social media curriculum developed by Girls Inc. with input from a teen advisory board. The goal was to create a safe space for vulnerability and open dialogue about the challenges of growing up in a digital age.
Meghan’s advocacy for a responsible digital world is not new. Through their nonprofit, the Archewell Foundation, she and Prince Harry have been working to support parents and children affected by negative social media experiences. They launched the Parents’ Network to provide resources and guidance for families dealing with online issues.
Meghan emphasizes that the responsibility of creating a safe online environment cannot solely rest on parents. She has been engaging in conversations with tech executives to address the need for better solutions and safeguards to protect young people from cyberbullying and misinformation.
By sharing her own story and engaging with organizations like Girls Inc., Meghan is using her platform to raise awareness about the challenges faced by teens in the digital age. Her efforts to empower young girls and advocate for a more positive online community are making a difference in the lives of many.
