Let me share a couplet here by Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the poet who wrote the legendary poem “Saray Jahan Se Achha, Hindustan Hamara,” for your post.
"Wujud e Zann sey hey tasweer e Kainaat Mai Rang, Isi key Saaz sey hey Zindagi ka Soz e daroon"
Translation :
“It is the existence of woman that brings color to the universe, it is her music that brings the soul of life”
Happy Women’s Day to everyone, especially my dear female friends on Connect, who never made me feel that we are not a family.
I’m so glad to see many familiar faces in your poster for International Women’s Day.
Just like this, we connect one word at a time to complete Connect, Google Maps, and the Local Guides program, an effort that ultimately impacts the world by providing guidance through Google Maps.
Beautiful poetry @KashifMisidia
True, women are so strong and powerful on their own
“When spiders unite, they can tie up a lion.” – African Proverb
Powerful reminder that unity and collaboration, even among the smallest, can overcome the greatest challenges.
When women and men unite, even the fiercest challenges become conquerable; together, they are an unbreakable force for change . So on this special Women’s Day, I extend my deepest thanks to every individual—woman or man—who stands strong in support and empowers women every single day. Your actions build a brighter, more inclusive world for all

Women Local Guides in every corner of the world,
You’re powerful, independent, and bold,
Explore new places with your curious eyes,
We all have one life, and time flies,
Add in maps the places you find,
Your reviews can help the mankind,
Share your journeys with all,
Your adventure will inspire the unknown.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women Local Guides!
A special shoutout to @Globe_trotter_Ish —you did a fantastic job organizing this entire campaign! Your post took me on a nostalgic trip back to 2017 when Google featured me as a Local Guide for International Women’s Day.
Thank you dear, for bringing back these wonderful memories!
@Globe_trotter_Ish Beautiful post! Congratulations to all of us women, warriors, workers, mothers, volunteers, students, wives, who fight every day so that we can assert our rights and our daily growth within this enormous space that is the world.
