Mattel Launches First Barbie Doll with Down Syndrome
TL;DR Summary
Mattel has launched its first Barbie doll with Down's syndrome, as part of its "most diverse and inclusive doll line". The company partnered with the National Down Syndrome Society to create the doll, which features a new face and body sculpt to be more illustrative of women with Down's syndrome. The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas line, which also includes a Barbie with a prosthetic leg, a Barbie who uses a wheelchair, and male dolls that are thinner and less muscular. The move has been welcomed by charities, who say it will help children find a toy that represents them.
