With regard to her idea to be created “headscarved” emoji Rayouf justifies: “We are also people and we have to be presented as a part of the diversity of this world. Emogis should not be treated as a great thing but this is another one a bit more different and innovative approach people like me to be heard and recognized from this world” cited by Nytimes.com.

Among the new emogis there are also such of breastfeeding woman, meditating person, bearded man, zebra, etc.
