lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have listened to Ms Bauer with great interest. However, I am very surprised and extremely disturbed to learn that her group plans to withdraw its support for this report, despite what Ms Bauer had to say yesterday at our shadow rapporteurs’ meeting, indicating that her group would join us in combating violent crime against lesbian women in Africa and supporting equal rights for lesbians and gays, and despite the egregious violations of the human rights of lesbian women and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) persons. I believe this motion for a resolution is extremely important for the European Parliament because the issue at stake here is the defence of human rights in all parts of the world and because this motion calls on the European External Action Service and all representatives of the European Union to uphold these rights and to support the fight against violence perpetrated on lesbian women – widespread violence involving so-called corrective rapes intended to cure women of their lesbianism. People seem to be unaware that this withdrawal is unacceptable. All six groups really need to act as one in this case. Only last weekend, the LGBT community in South Africa again found itself burying three lesbian women, a transgender woman and a gay man, all of whom had met violent deaths. This is happening in a country that was the first in the world to introduce non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in its new constitution in 1995. This course should be taken not only by South Africa, but by Africa as a whole."@en1
