Anger after female journalists excluded from Afghan embassy event in India
Female journalists were excluded from attending an event at the Afghan embassy in New Delhi, sparking outrage and accusations of discrimination. The incident took place on Monday evening when the embassy organized a press conference to discuss recent developments in Afghanistan.
According to reports, several female journalists who arrived to cover the event were denied entry by security personnel. The journalists protested outside the embassy, highlighting the issue of gender discrimination and calling for equal access to information and events.
In response to the backlash, the Afghan embassy issued a statement clarifying that the exclusion of female journalists was not intentional. The embassy cited logistical issues as the reason behind the decision, stating that the event was planned at short notice and security measures had to be put in place quickly.
