Google Doodle Salutes Women by Showcasing Them in Diverse Roles

To mark the occasion of International Women’s Day and honour the women's fraternity for its global impact, search engine giant Google on Tuesday released a unique and special Doodle.

An animated video on Google Doodle has highlighted the diverse roles taken up by women -- from homemakers to scientists. It also showcases how women affect themselves and those around them.

The video begins with a busy mother working on her laptop and taking care of her child, a woman watering plants, a woman conducting surgery at a hospital, and women leading many more professions and acing different activities.

"Today's annual International Women's Day Doodle is an animated slideshow that transports us around the world to give a glimpse into the everyday lives of women across different cultures. From a mother working from home to a motorcycle mechanic teaching her skills to the next generation, each illustration depicted in today's Doodle is connected by the common thread of how women show up for themselves, their families, and their communities," a statement released by Google read.

On this special day, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent leaders have also saluted women for their accomplishments in diverse fields.
