(MENAFN- Khaama Press) She called on the international community to pressure the Taliban to change their suppressive policies against Afghan women.
She believed that the international community had not put enough pressure on the group to change their policies in favour of women's and girls' rights.
Ms Machel said:“It took some decades, but it managed to change. The South African government of the time was forced to change by applying different methods; there were many methods used to squeeze the government to a point where it had to accept that it needed to change.”
She said:“I think so far, what is being applied against them is too soft. Because it's too soft, they survive. They should be squeezed to understand the human family is not going to allow them to continue the way they are behaving. There have to be ways.”
Meanwhile, the international community should engage with Kabul to deliver humanitarian support to the most needful people living with starvation and dire humanitarian crises while finding ways to change the current scenario in favour of women's rights, she added.
