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.

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.”
