I am trying to draw this picture with latex

Question

I have recently presented statistics of breast cancer and made a powerpoint image:

enter image description here

Please notice that the icons are not exactly the same (I was lucky enough to find similar icons with different colours). I was wondering if I could draw this with latex. I am writing my M.Sc. thesis.

The only difference is with the black one which is a little bit bigger? — Sigur, Feb 27 '15 at 18:20
Should the pictogram of the woman been itself within LaTeX (say TikZ) or is it just the arrangement? — , Feb 27 '15 at 18:25
We can see different colors, i think they are important. What about the size? The people seem to vary in size, is this random and should be, random and should not be, or is there a system? — Johannes_B, Feb 27 '15 at 18:27
@Johannes_B: Perhaps: Three of thirty women will suffer from breast cancer, and one third of them will die (the black icon?)... — , Feb 27 '15 at 18:35

Welcome to TeX.SX! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you. — Martin Schröder, Feb 28 '15 at 13:31
Welcome to TeX.SX. Questions about how to draw specific graphics that just post an image of the desired result are really not reasonable questions to ask on the site. Please post a minimal compilable document showing that you've tried to produce the image and then people will be happy to help you with any specific problems you may have. See minimal working example (MWE) for what needs to go into such a document. — Martin Schröder, Feb 28 '15 at 13:31

Your figures look like the one from the symbola font:

% arara: lualatex

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand*{\woman}[1][gray]{{%
\fontspec{symbola} % symbola.ttf
\textcolor{#1}{%
\symbol{"1F6BA}}}}
% if you are too lazy to write many repeated commands...:
\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new_eq:NN \Repeat \prg_replicate:nn
\ExplSyntaxOff

\begin{document} 
\Huge
\woman\woman[magenta]\Repeat{8}{\woman}

\Repeat{3}{\woman}\woman[magenta]\Repeat{6}{\woman}

\Repeat{6}{\woman}\woman[black]\Repeat{3}{\woman}
\end{document}

With a pic inspired in this one by percusse

\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,arrows,shapes.geometric}
\begin{document}

\tikzset{
    woman/.pic={    
\node[transform shape, circle,fill,minimum size=4.5mm] (head) at (0,0) {};
\node[transform shape, draw, fill, trapezium, trapezium angle=55, trapezium stretches=true, rounded corners=2pt, minimum width=0.7cm, minimum height=1cm,
,below = 1pt of head, inner sep=1pt] (body) {};
\draw[transform shape, line width=1.5mm,round cap-round cap] ([shift={(-1mm,1mm)}]body.south) --++(-90:6mm);
\draw[line width=1.5mm,round cap-round cap] ([shift={(1mm,1mm)}]body.south) --++(-90:6mm);
\draw[line width=1.25mm,round cap-round cap, rounded corners] ([yshift=-.5\pgflinewidth]body.north) --++(2.5mm,0)--++(-75:6mm);
\draw[line width=1.25mm,round cap-round cap, rounded corners] ([yshift=-.5\pgflinewidth]body.north) --++(-2.5mm,0)--++(255:6mm);
}}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\foreach \i [count=\ni from 0] in {1,...,10}{
\foreach \j [count=\nj from 0] in {1,...,3}{
\pic[black!30] at (\ni,-2.5*\nj) {woman};
}}

\pic[pink,scale=1.02] at (1,0) {woman};
\pic[pink,scale=1.02] at (3,-2.5) {woman};
\pic[scale=1.02] at (6,-5) {woman};


\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Not exactly the same symbol but it is a starting solution.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{standalone}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[xscale=.25,yscale=.5]
\foreach \i in {1,...,10}{
\foreach \j in {1,...,3}{
\node at (\i,\j) {\textcolor{black!30}{\Ladiesroom}};
}}
\node at (2,3) {\textcolor{red}{\Ladiesroom}};
\node at (4,2) {\textcolor{red}{\Ladiesroom}};
\node at (7,1) {\textcolor{black}{\Ladiesroom}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

ps: if this female icon is enough you can use the FontAwesome font.
