Video will play in Play now Don't auto playNever auto playAn 11-year-old Auckland girl has given a powerful speech on gender stereotypes. Akauola opens her speech with a question: "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. "No, we as little girls are told by every aspect of society that we love pink." "Does it really matter if little girls play with cars and trucks? This little princess will slay the dragon, rescue herself from the tower and definitely go down in history."
