I want my daughter to be surrounded by images of powerful and successful women. These dolls look amazing and I was disappointed when I realized I would not be able to purchase these for my daughter.

Barbie has the power to inspire young girls by showcasing real-life female athletes who have broken barriers and achieved greatness in their respective fields. By producing limited edition dolls of female sports stars, Mattel can help promote gender equality in sports and provide role models for the next generation.

According to a 2020 study by the Women's Sports Foundation, only 4% of sports media coverage is dedicated to women's sports (source: Women's Sports Foundation). This lack of representation contributes to fewer opportunities for young girls to see themselves in these roles.

Let's encourage Barbie to produce these inspiring dolls so that our daughters can dream big and aim high. Sign this petition if you believe in empowering young girls through representation!
