Celebrating International Day of the Girl 2017 on a budget

Most Girls Not Brides members work with very tight budgets, and we recognise that funding for activities can be difficult to secure, especially for international days such as International Day of the Girl.

That is why we have developed an animated video on child marriage and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that you can use in activities that have no or minimal financial cost. The guide includes key messages and suggested activities. Pick and choose the ones that are most appropriate to your organisation and local context.

The guide comes with:

• A video on child marriage and the SDGs


• A social media toolkit for Day of the Girl


• Some tips on how to facilitate discussions with young people, write a blog, and organise a tweet-chat.
