Barbie, the 63-year-old American doll manufacturer, is releasing a new set of dolls in June as part of its ongoing efforts towards diversity and inclusion.
From creating the brand's first ever Barbie with hearing aids, to a Ken doll with the skin condition vitiligo, 2022's Fashionista line up -- which will be launched in Walmart, Target and Amazon -- will help kids"see themselves reflected," said Mattel's Global Head of Barbie Dolls, Lisa McKnight, in a press statement.
She added that children should also be encouraged to play with dolls that don't resemble them to help them"understand and celebrate the importance of inclusion."For the Barbie with hearing aids, the company sought the expertise of Dr. Jen Richardson, a leading practitioner in educational audiology, to help accurately imitate behind-the-ear devices for the toy.
