— February 10, 2016 — Social Good
The #BeStrong Emoji Keyboard app is a new smartphone app, developed by Vodafone in collaboration with Monica Lewinsky, that is intended to provide teens with a way to "communicate support in a bullying situation."

Monica Lewinsky knows a thing or two about bullying, having endured lots of mocking and cruel taunting in the wake of the Bill Clinton scandal. Now a noted anti-bullying activist, Lewinsky points out that people have it even more difficult these days because of the proliferation of Internet and the social media.

The #BeStrong Emoji Keyboard app lets you choose from a variety of emojis that symbolize support, strength, courage and hope in the face of bullying, and can be used by anyone to express their anti-bullying sentiment.
