French toymakers have signed a pact to rid games and toys of the gender stereotypes which the government blames for keeping women out of maths and science careers.
“There are toys for girls that are generally very pink and generally very focused on domestic life, whereas toys for boys are generally themed around construction, space travel and science and technology,” she told the broadcaster RTL. This had resulted in girls, despite tending to outperform boys at maths and physics in school, being underrepresented in the sectors as adults.
Apart from changes in toy design, the charter also envisages manufacturers adapting the way their products are advertised. She tweeted a picture of the new charter along with Barbie dolls dressed as an astronaut and a robotics engineer.
