A visit by a delegation from the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) to the Eiffel Tower ended in a strike after the exclusion of female workers from the site during the visit of the Hindu religious group. The case generated indignation among the staff, who considered the exclusion of women unacceptable.
The delegation was part of the inauguration celebrations of the first large Hindu temple in France. The BAPS spiritual movement is responsible for the construction of this temple, which represents an important milestone for the Hindu community in the country.
Eiffel Tower workers protested against the discriminatory treatment directed at female staff members, who were prevented from participating in the service during the group's visit. The situation raised questions about respect for French laws on gender equality and labor rights.
