American toymaker Mattel has unveiled its first-ever Barbie doll representing a person with Down syndrome as part of its efforts to be more inclusive.

In a press release unveiling the new doll, Mattel said it hopes the new addition will “allow even more children to see themselves in Barbie” and “inspire all children to tell more stories through play.”
