Stop Stereotyping Our Children
The Issue
This petition is now available at http://www.change.org/petitions/toys-r-us-stop-marketing-gender-stereotypes-to-our-children
Carolyn DanckaertPetition StarterAfter years of seeking out empowering and inspirational books for our four young nieces, my husband, Aaron, and I decided to create A Mighty Girl as a resource site to help others equally interested in supporting and celebrating girls. The site was founded on the belief that all children should have the opportunity to read books, play with toys, and watch movies that offer positive messages about girls and honor their diverse capabilities.
Girls do not have to be relegated to the role of sidekick or damsel in distress; they can be the leaders, the heroes, the champions that save the day, find the cure, and go on the adventure. It is our hope that these high-quality children’s products will help a new generation of girls to grow and pursue whatever dreams they choose -- to truly be Mighty Girls!
A Mighty Girl is now has the world’s largest collection of books, toys, movies, and music for parents, teachers, and others dedicated to raising smart, confident, and courageous girls.
