On the search homepage, Google has also linked the words “On International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating progress on the path to gender equality” to a video it published on Monday,in which it touts how Google Voice Search helped various women find the information they needed.
With these Doodles, Google is celebrating International Women’s Day 2022 by showing that women are capable of doing everything, no matter their age. The artist Thoka Maer (@thokamaer) said, “I really hope that women feel seen and valued for whatever they’ve been doing and are doing right now.” She added, “I want all women to be able to truly choose the lives they want to live and receive all the respect they deserve.” Maer also mentioned that her life during the pandemic was one of the inspirations for the latest Google Doodle. Maer explained, “The last couple of years have been hard for everyone but women especially. We usually celebrate women and their incredible accomplishments in the past and present, and inspire young girls to dream big. The reality of the last couple of years has forced women to shift focus, adjust priorities and make sacrifices to be there for others who need them.”
As mentioned, Google hasn’t detailed the regions the Women’s Day 2022 doodle is visible across the world, something it does for most doodles. In its blog post on the doodle, Google says, “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.”
