Ugandan Lesbian Activist Honoured
The Ugandan lesbian activist Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera has just been honoured with an international award for her fight for human rights including LGBT rights.
The organizers applauded her courage in a country which punishes homosexuality.
The President of the jury, Hans Thoolen, said that Nabagesera is "an exceptional woman of a rare courage, fighting under death threat for human dignity and the rights of homosexuals and marginalised people in Africa".
"This is a fitting tribute to the courage of one woman, Kasha Nabagesera, and to all activists working under conditions of extreme threat," added
Dipika Nath, a LGBT researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Nabagesera, on several occasions, asked on television and radio more rights for the LGBT community and more fight against homophobia in Uganda. She has to move house a lot to escape harassment, she also regularly receives death threats and was even physically attacked.
This award Martin Ennals, from the name of a British activist of human rights, will enable her to see her work publicly published but also to have more protections.

French Education Minister Wants To Fight Against Bullying
by E-Li
In France, the Education Minister, Luc Chatel, has decided to fight against harassing, and in particular the homophobe harassing of youth in schools.
"We will give concrete answers, by improving the formation of our teachers, by preparing the education system which is not ready to deal with this, by sensitizing the parents, by setting up a call number, like this when a child has been bullied, his/her parents can intervene and find someone to talk with," he said.
It is true that, in France, nobody speaks about it. The minister added that it is even "taboo" but it "concerns too many children in our country".
According to a study of the International observatory of violence at school for Unicef, more than one child on ten has been bullied.
