In this sense, the British organization has launched a campaign through its official website where people who wish to participate must enter and select the emoji to represent menstruation that seems most appropriate.
It is important to note that at the end of the campaign they will send the most voted emoji to the Unicode Consortium, the institution in charge of approving all new emoji, so that they can be incorporated and used by women.
