lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have fought long and hard to address, at last, the extensive violence against LGBT people in Africa. Sadly, even in the House, too many Members are unwilling to condemn the murder of other human beings only because of their sexual orientation. It is shocking and does not suit the Europe I believe in. The problem we are facing is serious and systemic if we consider that, out of the 76 countries worldwide where homosexuality is illegal, 38 are in Africa. In several African countries, we see the so-called ‘corrective’ rape of women who are alleged to be lesbians. When such crimes are committed, the perpetrator should face justice, and where there is institutionalised criminalisation, this should end. Let me also highlight some good news. Archbishop Desmond Tutu has spoken out, calling for an end to these kinds of injustice. It is important to have more role models like him joining this call. The EU should continue to work with partners and civil society organisations and continue to lead the way in combating violence and discrimination against LGBT people throughout the world."@en1
