To commemorate the International Women’s Day, which is celebrated on March 8 every year, Instagram on Monday announced a series of new stickers that illustrate diverse women around the world. It also shows solidarity with the frontline workers who worked day and night during the COVID-19 period last year.
The stickers are available on the app and have been designed by five artists. They demonstrate the real-life experiences of disabled women, healthcare workers, motherhood, queer women and more.
In a statement by the social networking app, it said that, “stickers stand in solidarity with front line workers who assumed so much responsibility through the pandemic, with mothers, those among the limb disability community, with elderly Asian women who faced racism, and all the communities of support that have sparked joy in the lives of women all over the world.”
