The message ‘pink is for girls, blue is for boys’ creates a gender divide that hampers girls’ progress at school and holds back women in the workplace, a Government minister has warned.
Jenny Willott, the Lib Dem equalities minister, told Parliament that the “gendering of toys” matters because it instructs children how they are supposed to feel and behave.
“It is not fair to make little girls feel that they should not be kicking footballs or building with Lego, and it is equally unfair to make little boys feel ashamed of playing netball or of pushing a doll along in a pushchair,” she said.
“A boy who has never had a sewing kit may never discover his talent for design. A girl who has never had a Meccano set may never discover that she has real potential as an engineer.”
She said: “It is a really important issue and it’s fundamentally important to our economy as well, it’s not just a side issue as I think it sometimes can be portrayed.
“It is a really important one to the future economy of this country.
“All of us who have young children can’t help but be aware of how highly gendered children’s toys are.”
