Around the world, 300 million women have their period right now. Based on the current emoji keyboard, women can be a princess and send each other lipstick and nail polish symbols, but for the important things in life, like our periods, there is no way to express ourselves in this new universal language.

We want to change that.

Millions of girls and women find it hard to talk about their periods, which can cause embarrassment, anxiety and lack of confidence. To tackle this head on, we at Bodyform are submitting a petition to Unicode (the consortium responsible for the emoji keyboard) to ask them to include our six new period emojis, or #Femojis, to break down period taboos and encourage people to express how they feel about periods.

We will submit our request to Unicode on 21st March and before we do, we need your help to show just how many people care about giving women a stronger voice through femojis.

Please sign our petition today, share it with your friends on social media using the hashtag #Femojis.

Thanks for your support!
