International Women’s Day 2018: Google doodle celebrates 12 incredible stories

For Thursday’s doodle, the featured stories represent “a moment, person, or event that has impacted their lives as women. While each artist tells a unique story, the themes are universal, reminding us of how much we often have in common.” The idea was to celebrate the everyday women living around the world.

While each of these stories is moving, Google has also invited women across the world to celebrate their stories and journeys on International Women’s Day with the hashtag #HerStoryOurStory on social media.

Women who achieve, do so because of the characteristics that define them. Which of these do you identify with and why? Tell us, using #HerStoryOurStory pic.twitter.com/5NiQb6YNxn

The International Women’s Day Google doodle encourages women from across the world to share their stories using too.

This hashtag campaign started late March 7 night, and has picked up quite a momentum across online platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, with many women and organisations responding to the call with their own journeys or stories of incredible women they know.

People, organisations and governments around the world have their own way of celebrating Women’s Day, from honouring individuals to showcasing tributes. One such interesting tribute is by Barbie, which announced it would release 17 dolls honouring historical and modern-day women.
