The doodle features several Venus symbols, used to signify the female gender, in different colors matching those of the Google logo.
The logo's second 'O' is a larger Venus symbol with a Play button.
When users click the play button, a YouTube video starts playing of famous and non-famous women from across the world wishing "Happy International's Women's day" in their native languages.
The renowned figures include 16-year old Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai, Australian photographer Anne Geddes and India's five-time World Boxing champion Mary Kom.
International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year to mark women's achievements and to appreciate their contribution to the world. The United Nations General Assembly in 1975 invited member states to recognize March 8 as the "Day for women's rights and world peace." (AA)
