The Eiffel Tower was forced to close on Monday after staff went on strike to protest the “sidelining” and “replacement” of female employees during a recent visit by a Hindu delegation. The Paris landmark’s operator said the group had requested that the private visit be organised in such a way as to limit “interactions with women”.

    the group had requested that the private visit be organised in such a way as to limit “interactions with women”.

    It sounds like there was already a way the delegation could achieve their goal of limiting “interactions with women”. They simply didn’t have to go to the Eiffel Tower.
