Episode Title: ‘Girls NOT ALLOWED’ - Taliban's Statement Inside INDIA During Press #shorts
Produced by: FactTechz
Description: A press conference was held in New Delhi by the Afghan foreign minister from the Taliban government. During this event, no female journalists were admitted to participate. Only men reporters were present. The exclusion of women from this press event immediately sparked criticism. Many saw it as a symbol of the wider restrictions the Taliban place on women’s rights in Afghanistan—restrictions on education, employment, public presence and voice. India’s government stated that it did not organise the press conference and that the decision over who could attend was left to the Afghan side. Nonetheless, questions were raised about how such an exclusionary policy was allowed to play out on Indian soil. Opposition politicians and journalists in India argued that by allowing the event without insisting on equal media access, India was implicitly tolerating discriminatory gender norms. The incident became not only a diplomatic and media story, but also a flashpoint around women’s rights and India’s commitment to them in its foreign engagements.
