A storm of outrage erupted in New Delhi after women journalists were barred from attending a Taliban press conference, sparking widespread condemnation. The exclusion, reportedly without explanation, was slammed as blatant gender discrimination.
The incident highlighted the Taliban’s ongoing disregard for women’s rights and raised serious concerns about such actions taking place on Indian soil.
Media professionals and activists denounced the move as an attack on press freedom and equality.
As protests grow louder, many say silencing women journalists is not just denying them opportunity — it’s denying society the truth itself.
