Google Doodle celebrates International Women’s Day 2024 with tribute to women’s courage, progress

Doodle artist Sophie Diao illustrated the Google Doodle for International Women's Day 2024.

Annually commemorated on March 8th, International Women's Day serves not merely as a celebration of women's achievements but also as a call-to-action for gender equality.

Google Doodle has unveiled a touching tribute for International Women’s Day 2024, featuring a group of women sharing wisdom across generations within a “quilt embroidered with symbols of progress”. This special Doodle commemorates the courage and abilities of women, recognising their ongoing efforts towards achieving gender equality amidst global challenges.

Marking the first celebration of International Women’s Day by the United Nations in 1975, the Doodle highlights the significance of March 8, which is associated with historic Women’s Day demonstrations in Saint Petersburg and New York City. These demonstrations, despite occurring in different years and places, shared common objectives such as fair employment, voting rights, and access to public office.

The doodle artist for International Women’s Day 2024 is Doodle artist, Sophie Diao.

Modern International Women’s Day marches address contemporary challenges including gender and racial wage disparities, reproductive rights, and violence prevention. The Doodle honours women who have shaped society, advocated for equality, and served as inspirational figures.

When questioned about her Google Doodle, Diao revealed that her family gatherings in China, surrounded by her mother’s predominantly female relatives, deeply influenced her artistic vision. Her summers were filled with warmth and togetherness, as she bonded with her grandmother, aunts, cousins, and the wise village elders, cooking and playing cards.
