This is International Women’s Day Today. The day is celebrated on March 8 every year. The popular search engine platform Google has published a special doodle on its homepage to honor the day by giving importance to women.
The history of celebrating International Women’s Day is not long; on March 8, 1975, the United Nations celebrated the day for the first time. Originally March 8 commemorates two early protests on Women’s Day. One in St. Petersburg and the other in New York City. The common goals of these rallies, held in different years and locations, were to achieve gender equality, including fair and safe employment, the right to vote, and the right to hold public office.
Google’s doodle this year was created by artist Sophie Diao. Diao hopes that Google Doodle will inspire different generations to spend more time with people.
Google often publishes doodles on important days or in memory of a special person. A doodle is created with Google’s name on the search box, usually with images or animations related to the day or event, and is displayed throughout the day. Google’s aesthetic doodles are easily catching the attention of netizens.
