"Mr President, all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. All states have the obligation to prevent violence and incitement to hatred based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, and to respect the principles of equality between women and men.
However, the stigmatisation of, and the violence against, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex women, as well as against women perceived to be so, by state and police forces, the women’s families and community members is far from disappearing in many countries.
Today, we are concentrating on the situation of women in Africa, where female homosexuality is legal in 27 countries and illegal in another 27. Thus, I am glad that this Parliament strongly condemns all forms of violence and discrimination against lesbians in African countries where this is taking place, including extreme forms of violence, such as corrective rapes and other forms of sexual violence."@en1
