International Women's Day, which celebrates women's rights across the globe, has been celebrated with a Google Doodle
Ahead of International Women's Day on Saturday (March 8), Google's creative team have created a special doodle to celebrate women around the world. The doodle, which features 27 female chromosomes, will be interactive with a video featuring over 100 women, including the President of Lithuania, the brave Pakistani education activist, and an ever-curious explorer.
With music provided by the Belgian Congolese vocal group Zap Mama, the doodle celebrates the "amazing things women around the world have done and continue to do".
The doodle is tailored to different countries across the world. In the UK, it features Camila Batmanghelidjh, who founded the place2be and Kids Company, caring for 17,000 children and young in London and Katelyn Donnelly, executive director of the Pearson Affordable Learning Fund.
The team behind the latest Google Doodle told Wonder Women that trying to come up with a graphic for International Women’s Day this year completely flummoxed them.
Ryan Germick, Google doodle’s team leader, said: “International Women’s Day is a really hard topic. How do you surmise what women represent in a graphic?”
He explained why the team felt an interactive video would help. “It’s a quick glimpse of what some women across the world are doing. We’re just going for people doing great things. A 20-part DVD wouldn’t have scratched the surface. We decided with the doodle format we could probably do a fun video."
“We tried to be as sincere as possible," he added. "In certain countries, it’s OK to give a woman flowers for International Woman’s Day, in other countries it’s patronising. We tried to concentrate on the universal positive aspects of it.”
