Sabato 8 marzo, si celebra in tutto il mondo la Giornata Internazionale delle Donne. Quest’anno Google ha voluto rendere omaggio a questa ricorrenza realizzando un Doodle speciale, pubblicato sulla home page del motore di ricerca con un giorno di anticipo e che sarà "attivo" per tutta la giornata dell'8 marzo.
"Le donne sono storicamente poco rappresentate in molti ambiti: le scienze, i programmi scolastici, gli affari, la politica e, purtroppo, anche nei Doodle. Così, in aggiunta al nostro impegno costante a supporto della diversità e dell’integrazione, abbiamo voluto celebrare la Giornata Internazionale della Donna con un Doodle che ritrae oltre 100 donne di tutto il mondo da cui trarre ispirazione", puntalizza
Liat Ben-Rafael, del team Doodle di Google.
E’ il nostro modo per ricordare il significato e il valore di questa ricorrenza, per farci ispirare dall’impegno straordinario delle donne ritratte nel Doodle, per mostrare il potere della voce delle donne.
