Google wishes everyone Happy International Women’s Day
Google celebrates International Women's Day with an interactive Doodle.
Google has put up an interactive doodle to celebrate the ‘International Women’s Day 2014’ today. The doodle showcases a cute cartoon ‘Dora The Explorer’ as well as some prominent women like Asha Bhosle and Malala Yousafzai.
The doodle has a Roman symbol of Venus which represents women in a playful way with the second ‘O’ in the Google logo featuring a big yellow play button that starts rolling colorful balls indicating the circle of life. The smaller symbols of Venus around the main character look as if standing together in a party or a concert. The animated doodle gives way to a short YouTube video of women from around the globe wishing every one a Happy International Women’s Day. The video ends with a green banner below the Google logo, wishing Happy International Women’s Day.
“Women have historically been underrepresented in almost all fields: science, school curricula, business, politics-and, sadly, doodles. In addition to our continued effort for doodle diversity and inclusion, today’s truly International Women’s Day doodle features a host of inspiring women from around the world, including the President of Lithuania, a brave Pakistani education activist, an ever-curious explorer, and dozens more,” Google says explaining the doodle.
Google had recently posted a doodle in gay pride colors to protest the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. The doodle showcased the fundamental principle of the Olympic Charter on its home page along with a doodle showcasing six Winter Olympics disciplines presented in the colors of rainbow flag that represents gay pride.
