Girls were left out of the original Millennium Development Goals. The Girl Declaration has been written to make sure that doesn't happen again.
The declaration – bringing together the thinking of 508 girls living in poverty accross the globe with the help of experts from 26 international organisations – aims to put the needs of adolescent girls squarely on the development agenda for the post-2015 goals, which will succeed the Millennium Development Goals.
Believed to be the first document of its kind, the declaration lists seven guiding principles and five goals designed to provide decision-makers and global leaders with information to guide action and investment in improving the lives of adolescent girls. The girls' own language is used in much of the document.
Pakistani girl activist Malala Yousafzai, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Queen Rania of Jordan, Barbara Bush, United Nations Foundation CEO Kathy Calvin, Care CEO Helen Gayle, Microsoft and the Intel Foundation have all signed the Declaration.
So read the Girl Declaration and add your support on the "Girl Effect" website.
Really Eco Baby supports the "Girl Effect" by stocking Askeyprint Sew & Tell dolls: 10% of every sale goes towards the Girl revolution, where girls all over the globe are given the support they deserve to realise their unique worth.

This week, we have a Travis Tiger Bibisili bib up for grab!
 |
Bibisili bibs are great to bring a touch of style to your baby or toddler's meal times.
Travis Tiger is soft and durable and made out of 100% food-grade silicone. Very importantly it is Lead, PBA and Phthalates free. The silicone does not support the growth of fungus, mould or bacteria and will not corrode or deteriorate like plastic products.
How messy is feeding time? Is your little one "a hand feeder", "a spoon thrower" or completely "squeaky clean"? Love it or hate it?
Tell us, in a few words, what happens at meal times and we will draw one winner of a great Travis Tiger Bibisili bib from all the entries.

Look, that's how we spend our evenings at NapNap HQ!
We meet around a glass of wine and sew some pretty lavender pillows.
The lavender comes from the local Hitchin Lavender Farm and was picked up while on a walking trip with the kids. The fabric was found in our local charity shop and is really very pretty. All we needed then was Rebecca's sewing talent. Ta-da!
The lavender pillows will be found in our NapNap Voucher Gift boxes and some of our hamper Nests making them even more gifty: a scent of summer everytime you open your wardrobe.
