Female journalists found themselves cordoned off behind their male colleagues while covering Vice President Mike Pence’s trip to the Western Wall in Jerusalem Tuesday. Visitors to the sacred site are segregated by gender, but during past media events both men and women have typically been granted a space from which they can actually see. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation, an ultra-orthodox religious organization that administers the grounds, arranged a viewing platform for female journalists inside the women’s section, according to The Jerusalem Post, but female journalists at the scene said their view was onstructed. Pence’s staff ultimately removed an awning covering the platform, providing space for the women to stand on chairs to see over their male colleagues’ equipment.
