March 8 is International Women's Day, an annual celebration of the achievements of women around the world. On this occasion, Google dedicated fight for women's rights. The illustration includes a layered XNUMXD animation on paper that represents the history of the celebration as well as its meaning for different generations of women.
The hand-folded mandala features 35 characters in three layers, each representing a different era of women's rights. The black and white center layer is dedicated to women throughout the world during the labor movement from the late 1800s to the 1930s. The second level is dedicated to the pursuit of gender equality and rapid change from the 1950s to the 1980s.
The last layer represents the 1990s and shows the progress made by women's rights movements in the last century. It includes those activists who have rejected the old cultural and gender roles and continue to redefine the roles of women in society. But Google believes that the work is not over, and women must continue to develop the movement.
In 1908, at the call of the New York Social Democratic Women's Organization, a rally was held with slogans about the equality of women - on this day, more than 15 women marched through the city, demanding a reduction in the working day and equal pay conditions with men. A demand was also put forward for granting women the right to vote. The following year, the Socialist Party of America celebrated National Women's Day for the first time. And now the holiday is celebrated every year on March 000 in dozens of countries around the world.
Silicon Valley has also recently been fighting for gender equality. According to the Kapor Center, women now make up about 30% of the workforce in Silicon Valley, and girls face a number of barriers to getting an education in high-tech fields.
The latest doodle was created by four artists: Marion Willam and Daphne Abderhalden of Drastik Creative Agency, and Julie Wilkinson and Joyanne Horscroft of Makerie Studios. They say that each of the 35 characters, as well as their positions in the mandala, has been given a lot of attention.
By the way, until the end of the month, you can send video messages in the Google Duo app for Android and iOS using the mentioned doodle. And also in Gboard, Tenor's GIF keyboard, or when searching for GIFs in many social applications, you can find themed animations with the #GoogleDoodle tag.
