First launched in 1959, Barbie has faced her fair share of criticism for an unrealistic body image and sexualisation. Now the brand is pushing to offer a more diverse range of dolls, giving more children the chance to play with toys that look like them.
Barbie has launched its first doll with Down's syndrome, in a bid to make the world-famous toy more inclusive.
Down's syndrome is when you are born with an extra chromosome, leading to some level of learning disability, distinctive facial characteristics and an increased risk of heart and digestive issues.
