Victimized Emoji Initiatives

The Abused Emojis Empower Children to Speak Up

— May 22, 2015 — Social Good
In an effort to help victims of violence speak up and seek help, a Swedish children's helpline has released a set of 'Abused Emojis' depicting children in physically and emotionally abusive situations. The intention is that children will be able to use the emojis when words seem to fall short.

The non-profit organization BRIS released a statement, saying, "The Abused Emojis make it possible for kids and young people to talk about situations where they felt bad or wrongly treated without having to put words on the situation. If you or somebody you know have been hurt, mistreated or feel sad, Abused Emojis makes it easier to talk about."

The full set of Abused Emojis include icons of children with cuts and bruises, as well as images of sneering emoji parents drinking in front of their children.
Trend Themes
1. Abused Emojis - The creation of Abused Emojis opens up new opportunities for emotional expression and communication in digital platforms.
2. Empowering Children - The initiative to empower children through the use of Abused Emojis presents opportunities to address and discuss the sensitive topic of abuse.
3. Non-verbal Communication - The introduction of Abused Emojis highlights the growing importance of non-verbal communication in digital interactions.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Helpline Services - The development of Abused Emojis offers potential for children's helpline services to enhance support and engagement with young victims of abuse.
2. Digital Communication Platforms - The integration of Abused Emojis into digital communication platforms presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to promote empathy and understanding.
3. Non-profit Organizations - Non-profit organizations can explore the utilization of Abused Emojis as a tool for raising awareness and educating the public about child abuse.
