engineers Google designed 13 new “emoji” that claim to represent women in various professions.
Some giant Google engineers have proposed 13 new “emoji” of women with different professions, in order to promote gender equality in the workplace. The designs include women engineers, chemical, canalizadoras and farmers.
The proposal is Rachel Been, Nicole Bleuel, Agustin Fonts and Mark Davis and was presented at the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit group that runs a ” subcommittee emoji “in Silicon Valley.
” No matter where we look, women are gaining visibility and recognition as ever (…) it is time for the emoji also reflect the reality that women play an important role in all walks of life and all professions? “, can be read in the proposal.
Jeremy Burge, founder of” Emojipedia “and the World Emoji Day and member the subcommittee of the Unicode Consortium, is in favor of the proposal. “It is quite clear that the Emoji professional women are underrepresented in emoji, and this approach is a clever way to deal with the problem now, rather than prevent,” he told British newspaper “The Guardian”.
Google has been repeatedly alerted to the problem of existing sexism in emoji. In March, the “Always” carried out a campaign called “#LikeAGirl”, which shows girls who do not feel represented by the symbols.
Also the North aamericana first lady, Michelle Obama, addressed the question via Twitter, saying he loved seeing an emoji of a girl studying
According to the platform of the 2015 report “emogi”, women use more icons than men.
