Dara and Sara - Iran's Islamic alternative to Ken and Barbie Posted: 1 year ago by Nateebiinature
Meet Dara and Sara, Iran's answer to Ken and Barbie.
The Muslim dolls have been developed by a government agency to promote traditional values, with their modest clothing and pro-family backgrounds.
They are widely seen as an effort to counter the American dolls and accessories that have flooded the Iranian market.

She said young girls who play with Barbie, a doll she sees as wanton, could grow into women who reject Iranian values.

"I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile," Ms Rahimi said.
