Barbie will wear hijab from now on

 For decades, Barbie was synonymous with a slender blonde. However, the doll makers gradually introduced a variety in the image of Barbie, adding to its appearance different ethnic characteristics. And now, for the first time in 58 years of the history of doll creation, Barbie receives a hijab.
"Mattel," Barbie's producers, should release a doll modeled on Ibtihaj Muhammad, an American fencer who won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The 31-year-old Muhammad is known for being the first Muslim woman to wear the hijab during the Olympics for the US team.
The athlete expressed her thanks to Twitter on "Twitter" for the fact that the company invited her to the family of the brand "Shero", which celebrated the female models of celebrities. "I'm proud that girls can play everywhere with Barbie, who prefers wearing a hijab! This is the dream of my childhood, "Muhammad wrote.
Muhammad, a native of New Jersey, had previously complained about the difficulties of Muslim life in the United States. She told the Daily Beast that she felt in danger "all the time" in her home country. Often, when she returned from fencing training, she was reported to the police.
In December 2016, she was detained by US customs agents for two hours. "I do not know why. I can not say why it happened to me, but I know that I am a Muslim. I have an Arabic name. And although I represent the US team, and I have Olympic gear, this does not change how you look and how people perceive you, "Muhammad said.Read also the latest news in the section "Culture / Show Business":
