To raise awareness about women’s rights, gender equality, and empowerment, International Women’s Day is being observed globally today (March 8).
This year’s theme, 'Accelerate Action', reaffirms the commitment to advancing women’s rights, ensuring equality, and fostering empowerment.
Marking the occasion, Google has also paid tribute to women worldwide, recognising their contributions across various sectors and celebrating their achievements.
