for PR enquiries contact us at: pr@houseofkurds.org  More than 85 million Kurds live across the globe mainly in their divided land between Southeast Turkey, Northeast Syria, North Iraq & Northwest Iran. Kurds identify themselves as Kurds and embracing our Identity via our language, culture, art & flag is very important to us Kurds because we have been oppressed, genocided, assimilated, murdered and discriminated for hundred of Years still we never lost hope. Our Kurdish Flag is a Symbol of our existence and represents our Values, Suffer & History which impacted every single Kurd Family in the world. Red: Symbolises the blood of the martyrs & the continued struggle for freedom & dignity. Green: Expresses the beauty & landscapes of Kurdistan. Life & vitality. Yellow: source of life & light of the Kurd People. The sun is an ancient symbol & twenty one sunbeams White: Peace & equality. We live in a modern world were technology is connecting people across the globe and empowering humans to live their dreams. We believe adding the Flag of the Kurd People is a symbol of acceptance, respect & recognition towards the Kurd People who suffered for decades and never had a voice in any global community. Give us a Voice, add our Kurdistan Flag as a Symbol. Kurd People are puzzling their own flag emoji together with coloured heart emojis ❤️ & the sun emoji ☀️  This has to change! Kurds have the right to express their emotions like all other people & a Kurdistan Flag emoji would mean a lot to us and enable us to express ourselves. Many communities have their own symbol in the Keyboard not just countries.  We demand a Kurdistan Flag Emoji. Help us, sign & share right now.          

Have you ever experienced an emotion that you couldn't find on the emoji keyboard? Can you recall the frustration you felt coursing through your veins when you had to resort to a less accurate emoji? Us Apple users demand that this emoji shown above be made available in the next iOS update. It has been too long since the creation of Apple emojis in 2008 that this facial expression be excluded. It is absolutely outrageous that we have 13 different emojis for trains/railroad cars in varying sizes and colors, 14 different emojis for arrows pointing in differing directions, 24 different emojis for clocks at every hour and half-hour mark of the day but not a single one describing anything even remotely similar to this emotion. For the past 12+ years, we've been forced to resort to emojis like such: ��� none of which properly convey the emotion we are feeling. The fact that graphic designers have decided to take this matter into their own hands and create the emoji shown above reveals the extremity of this situation. Please. As Apple users, we are demanding you to do better. Create. This. Emoji.

Everyone loved the previous "Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes" emoji. It was ambiguous enough to connect it with different emotions and sweet enough to make you say anything without being slapped in the face afterwards. A perfect combination of shame and joy. As Slate put it: During the golden era of emoji, we used their flexibility to transmit hard-to-articulate emotional nuggets of significance. Take, for example, that weird indistinguishable grin-grimace emoji: [no emoji support at change.org]. According to emojitracker.com, it’s the 15th most popular emoji on Twitter. Its slightly-guilty-slightly-pleased-slightly-embarrassed-but-still-excited expression made it a favorite, I suspect, because we often experience this dynamic maelstrom of feelings in real life. Like when you ask someone for a big, irritating favor that will also deepen the intimacy of your bond. Like asking a new friend to borrow their car for a weekend. Or asking your boss to let you leave early to go to a concert. A lot of asks occur, for better or worse, over text, and the grin-grimace was a trusty analog for this complex shame-joy we experience. Humanity needs this emoji. Period. Once again I quote the article from Slate: Apple's designers fundamentally misunderstood what made emoji great. This is the death of emoji, or at least the beginning of the end. RIP little friends. Amen to that.

Apple should have more cat emojis because not only are cats awesome, they’re super cute as well. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say we all need a little more symbolism of our little bean-toed buddies. There should be no shortage of emojis, nor should there be lack of representation of our feline friends. Apple implemented two types of camels , a one-humped camel (�) as well as a two-humped camel (�). Where are the different types of cats? Let’s see how many more cats we can get registered into the emojipedia.
