In a bid to represent a more diverse range of women, Barbie has introduced two new dolls with disabilities – one that uses a wheelchair and another with a prosthetic leg.
Yesterday, Mattel announced the latest additions to its Fashionista line and explained that the launch is designed to “elevate the conversation around physical disabilities” while further showcasing “a multi-dimensional view of beauty and fashion”.
The new dolls come hot off the back of increased customer demand and the global firm worked with founder of nonprofit organisation, Born Just Right, Jordan Reeves – who has a prosthetic arm – to ensure the new dolls are as realistic as possible.
