The Barbie Dream Gap Project is a global initiative launched by Mattel in 2018 to address the barriers that prevent girls from reaching their full potential. Research has shown that starting at age five, girls begin to doubt their abilities more than boys, influenced by stereotypes and societal biases. The project aims to close this gap by challenging gender stereotypes and providing girls with the resources and support they need to continue believing in themselves. Key elements of the project includes: UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers developed a curriculum that supports social-emotional development and encourages interest in STEM careers among young girls. Collaborations with organizations like Inspiring Girls International to deliver Dream Gap workshops and reach thousands of girls worldwide. Since 2019, Barbie has donated $250,000 annually to non-profits working directly with girls. The Barbie Dream Gap Project is empowering girls globally by challenging stereotypes and supporting their limitless potential and inspiring the next generation of female leaders through education, partnerships, and annual donations.
