A mother's message to her daughter
------------------------------------------------------------

"I'll guide my daughter not to marry at an early age."

In Guatemala, 30% of girls are married before their 18th birthday.

Keeping girls in school helps to keep them out of child marriage - our message to G7 leaders
------------------------------------------------------------

Leaders at the 2019 G7 in August in Biarritz fulfilled a promise. They acknowledged the importance of gender-responsive education in the Declaration on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment.

In the Declaration, G7 Leaders expressed their conviction that “equal access to quality education is vital to achieve the empowerment and equal opportunity of girls and women, especially in developing contexts and in countries struggling with conflict.”

Child marriage and education are intrinsically linked, as child marriage is both a cause and a consequence of poor educational attainment.

In August 2018, we launched our youth activism training programme in English on International Youth Day.

Today, we have nearly 200 Girls Not Brides members based in India and Nepal. We're really excited to introduce this programme in Hindi to help you reach out to more young people in the communities you work with!
