Anger after female journalists excluded from Afghan embassy event in India

Anger after female journalists excluded from Afghan embassy event in India

The news article reports that female journalists were barred from attending an event hosted by the Taliban government's embassy in New Delhi, India. This exclusion has sparked outrage and criticism from various quarters, as it is seen as a continuation of the Taliban's discriminatory policies against women, particularly in the field of media and journalism. The article notes that the event, which was a reception for the newly appointed Taliban envoy to India, was only open to male journalists, a move that contradicts the Taliban's claims of being more inclusive towards women since their return to power in Afghanistan. The exclusion of female journalists from this embassy event has been condemned as a setback for press freedom and gender equality, and raises concerns about the Taliban's commitment to upholding the rights of women in the region.
