The Eiffel Tower reopened this Tuesday after its employees protested against the removal of women working at the monument during a visit by a Hindu religious group. The employees decided to close the monument in protest.
The women working at the Eiffel Tower were "hidden" during the visit of the Hindu religious group, in a decision that generated controversy. The employees considered the measure discriminatory and protested against what they understood to be unequal treatment.
The Paris City Hall announced it will open an investigation into the incident to clarify the circumstances that led to the removal of the female employees during the visit of the group. The case raised questions about discriminatory practices at Parisian monuments.
The Eiffel Tower is the most iconic monument in Paris and receives millions of visitors every year. The visit of the Hindu religious group and the way the female employees were treated became a matter of public debate in France.
