A spokesperson for MAKERS said they noticed that emojis picturing men involved a much wider range of activities and professions.

"Compared to larger global women's issues, emojis may seem insignificant, but these tiny characters have become the primary language young girls use to express themselves in text messages or on social media, "they said.

"And if they don’t see a female police officer are less likely to aspire to be one?"
