"Mr President, the issue of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Africa keeps appearing on the parliamentary agenda, and with good reason. Two thirds of African countries have repressive laws in this area and, as has already been mentioned, South Africa is currently regressing on this issue.
Today, I would like to talk to you about the documentary made in Uganda by two women on the situation of LGBT people. During filming, in 2010, David Kato, an iconic figure in the fight of LGBTs in Africa, was assassinated. This documentary then changed dimension, and the message of tolerance and hope it bears must be disseminated as widely as possible. I would therefore like to invite you to see this film, which is entitled
and to encourage its distribution in all Member States to let them know of the fate of the Kuchus and to not let silence make them disappear.
I will leave you with this phrase spoken by David Kato: ‘They keep saying we do not exist, but we definitely do’."@en1
