Mattel, the maker of Barbie, wants to focus on the issues of inclusion and diversity.

The new line will even feature a Ken doll with a skin disorder that causes loss of pigment cells.

This Barbie comes with a pink hearing device, while other dolls from the same line are manufactured reflecting a variety of conditions.
