Google celebrates International Women’s Day with a doodle | India News
NEW DELHI: The Google is celebrating this year’s International Women’s Day with a doodle. The central theme of Google doodle is the “many ways in which women support women”.
The Google has described the rationale behind the International Women’s Day doodle in detail: “The vignettes within each “GOOGLE” letter highlight just a few of the many areas in which women around the world support each other to progress and improve each other’s quality of life”.
This year’s Google doodle on International Women’s Day was illustrated by artist Alyssa Winans. “Our theme this year was “women supporting women”, so I was able to spend a lot of time reflecting on all the ways I’ve been supported by the other women in my life. I’m the youngest of three girls, so since birth I’ve always benefited from the wisdom and support of those who came before me! I’m grateful for that and all the ways I see women in my life standing up for each other and their values,” Alyssa Winans said while explaining her thoughts about creating this Google doodle.
The International Women’s Day is celebrated in a variety of ways across the world. This year, the UN is observing the International Women’s Day with the theme “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”. The UN theme “recognizes and celebrates the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The observance will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, and it will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online and ICT-facilitated gender-based violence.”
The UN has highlighted some data points behind this year’s theme for the International Women’s Day. According to UN:
*Only 63 per cent of women are using the Internet in 2022 compared to 69 per cent of men.
*By 2050, 75% of jobs will be related to STEM areas. Yet today, women hold just 22% of positions in artificial intelligence, to name just one.
*A study of 51 countries revealed 38 per cent of women had personally experienced online violence.
