In a significant protest, Eiffel Tower staff have gone on strike following allegations of gender discrimination involving female employees. Reports indicate that women were asked to be moved out of sight during a visit from a Hindu delegation, leading to accusations of exclusion and unfair treatment. The strike has resulted in the closure of the iconic monument as workers demand accountability and a review of the handling of female staff during such visits. The situation has sparked an investigation by Paris authorities into the claims of women being hidden from the delegation. This incident has raised concerns over the treatment of female employees in public spaces, particularly during high-profile events.
