As we have seen some people in India judge kids on the basis of their marks, what they wear (especially girls), what do they play with, etc.

This has led to many stereotypes. Some stereotypes include- pink is girls' color, blue is boys' girls don't play with cars, trucks, toy guns, they have to play with dolls because that's what they have to do - take care of children, be delicate.

Whereas, boys are given toys such as cars, Hotwheels, violence-related toys, as they are expected to be robust, tough, fearless, and are considered fragile and made fun of when they ask for dolls, same is the case with girls when they ask for toys "made for boys", they are humiliated by saying "you're a girl, your place is in the kitchen" etc.

Many companies such as Cadbury in their products continue to play on these stereotypes. Kinder joy is pink for girls and has dolls inside whereas boys' kinder joy is blue, has other toys inside.

It's the time to ask ourselves, -why do big companies keep emphasizing these stereotypes?

Why are we doing such classification in toys? Who said girls are only interested in dolls? Where is it written that boys can't play with dolls?

Toys should be classified on the basis of what material are they made of, from where are they made available, rather than classifying them for whom they are.

Toys can be for anyone! They can be for girls. They can be for boys. They can be for transgender people.

There isn't any law that classifies toys on the basis of gender and neither should it be made, instead, there should be a rule that "no classification of toys should be done on the basis of gender".

Please sign my petition asking Cadbury and Kinder Joy to relook their products and commit to gender-neutral toys as gifts.
