We know how kids love their toys collection. My li’l girl makes sure she feeds her Barbie, dresses her up and even reads bedtime stories for her! When these dolls can serve as your child’s buddies and best companions, why not make them your child’s role model too?!
Based on a global survey of around 8000 mothers, it was found that around 86% of moms were concerned about the role models their children were exposed to and the impact it had on the young minds.
In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, we are committed to shining a light on empowering female role models past and present in an effort to inspire more girls.
