The Gender\-based Violence, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Bill has been introduced today, 30 June 2014\.


The Bill reflects the Welsh Government’s on\-going commitment to addressing the enduring social issues of gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence.


The Welsh Government recognises in Wales, consistent with the rest of the world, women are disproportionally impacted by all forms of intimate violence.


Although the prevalence and severity of gender\-based violence, domestic violence and sexual violence disproportionally affects women, the Bill recognises victims can be from across the whole spectrum of society. The Bill extends to older people, all ethnicities, religions and beliefs, people with disabilities and people from the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender community.  


The Bill is aimed at improving the public sector response in Wales to gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence. It is intended to provide a strategic focus on these issues and ensure consistent consideration of preventive, protective and supportive mechanisms in the delivery of services.  


The Bill places duties on the Welsh Ministers, County and County Borough Councils (“Local Authorities”) and Local Health Boards to prepare and publish strategies to address gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence.  It further provides a power to the Welsh Ministers to issue guidance to Local Authorities, Local Health Boards, NHS Trusts and Fire and Rescue Authorities, on how they should exercise their functions with a view to working to address gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence. The Bill also contains provision for the appointment of a Ministerial Adviser, the first role of its kind in the UK.  


The introduction of a specific Bill on gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence demonstrates the significance the Welsh Government places on addressing these issues. The Bill is part of a package of measures the Welsh Government is undertaking to tackle such violence and abuse.


To support the Bill a number of key policy initiatives are being progressed, including in relation to our Healthy Relationships agenda.  I have increased the level of funding provided to Hafan Cymru to extend the coverage of the Spectrum Programme, which delivers Healthy Relationship lessons in schools across Wales.  The extended Programme will go live from autumn 2014 and will see Healthy Relationship education delivered in 100% of schools over a two year period.  Progress is also being made in relation to a wider package of whole school approach measures with a view to ensuring schools mainstream addressing gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence.


I am also today launching a publicity campaign to raise awareness of these issues across Wales.  In addition, the Welsh Government has today been named a ‘White Ribbon’ organisation, in recognition of our efforts in tackling gender\-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence.


The Welsh Government is leading the way. I shall be making a Legislative Statement in Plenary tomorrow and I look forward to the Assembly’s consideration of the Bill over the coming months.

       Heddiw, 30 Mehefin 2014, cyflwynwyd Bil Trais ar sail Rhywedd, Cam\-drin Domestig a Thrais Rhywiol (Cymru).

 Mae’r Bil yn adlewyrchu ymrwymiad parhaus Llywodraeth Cymru i fynd i’r afael â materion cymdeithasol oesol sef trais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol. 

 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n cydnabod mai menywod sy’n dioddef waethaf oherwydd pob math o drais personol a bod hyn yn wir yng Nghymru, yn gyson â gweddill y byd.  

 Er mai menywod sy’n dioddef waethaf ac amlaf oherwydd trais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol, mae'r Bil yn cydnabod y gall dioddefwyr ddod o bob rhan o gymdeithas. Mae’r Bil yn ymestyn i bobl hŷn, pobl o bob ethnigrwydd, crefydd a chredo, pobl ag anableddau a phobl o'r gymuned Lesbiaidd, Hoyw, Deurywiol a Thrawsrywiol.  
   
Nod y Bil yw ceisio gwella ymateb y sector cyhoeddus i drais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol. Bwriedir iddo gynnig canolbwynt strategol ar y materion hyn sicrhau bod ystyriaeth gyson yn cael ei rhoi i fecanweithiau atal, amddiffyn a chefnogi wrth ddarparu gwasanaethau.

 Mae’r Bil yn gosod dyletswyddau ar Weinidogion Cymru, Cynghorau Sir a Chynghorau Bwrdeistref Sirol (“yr Awdurdodau Lleol”) a Byrddau Iechyd Lleol i baratoi a chyhoeddi  strategaethau i fynd i’r afael â thrais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol.  Ymhellach mae’n rhoi pŵer i Weinidogion Cymru gyhoeddi canllawiau ar gyfer yr Awdurdodau Lleol, Byrddau Iechyd Lleol, Ymddiriedolaethau’r GIG  ac Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub, ar sut y dylent arfer eu swyddogaethau er mwyn gweithio i fynd i’r afael â thrais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol. Ceir darpariaeth yn y Bil hefyd ar gyfer penodi Cynghorydd Gweinidogol, y rôl gyntaf o’i math yn y DU.   

 Mae cyflwyno Bil penodol ar drais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol yn dangos y pwyslais y mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n ei roi ar fynd i’r afael â’r materion hyn. Mae’r Bil yn rhan o becyn o fesurau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n eu cyflwyno i fynd i’r afael â thrais a cham\-drin o’r fath. 

 I gefnogi’r Bil rydym yn bwrw ymlaen â nifer o fentrau polisi allweddol, gan gynnwys mewn cysylltiad â’n hagenda Perthnasoedd Iach.  Rwyf wedi cynyddu lefel yr arian sy’n cael ei ddarparu i Hafan Cymru i ymestyn cwmpas y Rhaglen Sbectrwm, sy’n cyflwyno gwersi  Perthnasoedd Iach mewn ysgolion ledled Cymru.  Caiff y rhaglen estynedig ei rhoi ar waith o hydref 2014 ymlaen ac fe gaiff addysg Perthnasoedd Iach ei chyflwyno mewn 100% o ysgolion dros gyfnod o ddwy flynedd.  Mae cynnydd yn cael ei wneud hefyd mewn perthynas â phecyn ehangach o fesurau ysgol\-gyfan er mwyn sicrhau bod ysgolion yn rhoi blaenoriaeth i fynd i’r afael â thrais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol.

 Rwyf hefyd yn lansio ymgyrch gyhoeddusrwydd heddiw i godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r materion hyn ledled Cymru.  Yn ogystal, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cael ei henwi heddiw yn sefydliad ‘Rhuban Gwyn’, i gydnabod ein hymdrechion o ran mynd i’r afael â thrais ar sail rhywedd, cam\-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol.

 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n arwain y ffordd yn hyn o beth. Byddaf yn gwneud Datganiad Deddfwriaethol yn y Senedd yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yfory ac edrychaf ymlaen at yr ystyriaeth y bydd y Cynulliad yn ei rhoi i’r Bil dros y misoedd i ddod.
