Malala Yousafzai and Jane Goodall lead Google’s interview of 337 women and girls for their International Women’s Day doodle.
March 8 marks the global event aiming to celebrate and inspire women.
The search engine company travelled to 13 countries asking women to finish the sentence “One day I will…” Most film locations worked with a women-only crew to create a celebratory and encouraging environment.
Locations include San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Lagos, Moscow, Cairo, Berlin, London, Paris, Jakarta, Bangkok, New Delhi and Tokyo.


Renowned primatologist Goodall shared her aspirations to discuss the environment with the Pope. Nobel Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai and activist Muzoon Almellehan said to see every girl in school.
Meanwhile other women’s responses varied from starting new companies to being a mother.
Google invited people to tweet their own #OneDayIWill and thousands of women have used the hashtag every hour.
Here’s a look at what women really want:

While career aspirations were commonly mentioned, money was not.
A Hong Kong YWCA survey released on Sunday had cited money as what made women in the city happiest.
Commissioned by shopping complex, Plaza Hollywood, the survey concluded that Hong Kong women rated money as the most important thing to their happiness.
The survey also insinuated the salaries of women’s husbands, who they prefer to be doctors, lawyers and engineers were a main factor in what they consider a good life.
The survey makes no correlation of such career with personality or ambitiousness often associated with them.
Lisa Moore, research and advocacy manager from The Women’s Foundation in Hong Kong says the survey may touch on women’s concerns about economic security, but doesn’t give the whole picture.
“The lack of a universal pension in Hong Kong means the million or so women who are full time caregivers or are working in the informal economy are particularly vulnerable in terms of long term financial security,” she said.
“At the same time, women who are in the workforce are disadvantaged by the gender pay gap with women in Hong Kong earning on average 17 per cent less than their male counterparts.”
