lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am glad to participate in this debate because violence against anyone is unacceptable, in particular violence by men, usually, against women because of their sexual orientation. We denounce this here today. Unfortunately, right across Africa, there is a kind of cultural tradition based on non-tolerance of LGBTs in any form. This, of course, is tragic and we must certainly do all we can to end it. But even in countries such as South Africa, which, in 1996, became the first country in the world to bring non-discrimination based on sexual orientation into its constitution, the practice is entirely different. There are numerous examples of women in particular being violated in the most appalling way based on sexual orientation. This is not acceptable and we, as the world’s biggest donor, must insist that right across Africa, as part of our aid to them, laws are enacted and, in particular, ensure that nobody gets away with violations of this kind."@en1
