Eiffel Tower closed due to protest against exclusion of women during Hindu group visit

The Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed due to a protest against the exclusion of women during a visit by a Hindu group. The company that manages the monument, SETE, confirmed the partial closure for several hours.

The protest was reportedly motivated by the fact that some female employees of the Eiffel Tower were asked to leave their posts during the visit of the Hindu group. These women were reportedly replaced by men to fill certain positions during the visit period.

The workers expressed their displeasure at this situation, considering that the exclusion of women from their jobs was a discriminatory decision. The protest took place on site and led to the partial closure of the Parisian tourist attraction.

The visit of the Hindu group to the Eiffel Tower reportedly required specific conditions related to religious issues, which led to the replacement of female staff in certain positions during the period in question.
