Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Grac\u0327a Machel, a prominent rights campaigner and the widow of Nelson Mandela, has told the BBC more women should have been included in debates at the first-ever Africa climate summit.<\/p>\n

At the recently concluded three-day gathering in Kenya\u2019s capital, African heads of state agreed on a unified position for the continent ahead of November\u2019s COP28 summit \u2013 including a proposed a global carbon tax regime.<\/p>\n

Ms Machel, who is deputy chair of The Elders \u2013 a group of senior statesmen founded by Mr Mandela in 2007 to tackle some of the world\u2019s most pressing problems, said this was a step worth celebrating.<\/p>\n

She lauded some of the innovative ways of dealing with climate change that had been presented in Nairobi, saying: \u201cAfrica is not here to be helped. Africa is here to offer opportunities to offer investment, to offer solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the 77-year-old Mozambican campaigner said women had to be at the centre of the debate in future: \u201cWe have to stop this thing of women speaking from the window.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even when women shouted from a window, those coming up with resolutions failed to hear them, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen have to be at the centre of the decision. So we as women, women\u2019s organisations, we have to grab that place. It isn\u2019t going to be offered to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are in leadership really have to understand that the times that we had only blue, grey, and black suit alone in decision making, is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are still stood outside shouting through the windows \u2013 they should be in the room!\u201d<\/p>\n
