English: Thank you for the statement, Minister. According to the World Health Organization, a billion people, or 15 per cent of the global population, have some sort of disability. Marking International Day of People with Disabilities not only is an opportunity to ensure that we remember the importance of securing equality and fair opportunities for people here in Wales, but also for the billion people across the globe who face inequalities and injustices of all kinds on a day-to-day basis. I want to focus on that international element, and also the fact that there is often a gap between the experiences of disabled people and the statements of those in power. We must mention, with Wales's eyes on Qatar today, and our economy Minister there, nations that don't recognise disabilities properly and therefore don't support disabled people sufficiently despite their statements on bold policies. There's, again, that gap between Government rhetoric and the experience of disabled people themselves. Disability Rights UK, for example, have questioned Qatar's attitude towards its disabled population as it claims that only 0.5 per cent of its population is disabled, which is completely out of step with the international norm of between 15 and 25 per cent. Disability Rights UK say that disease and genetic factors are mainly responsible for disabilities, according to the Qatari Government website, while injuries cause between a third and 50 per cent of disabilities usually. We've also heard the Qatari Government today recognising that hundreds of people died in constructing the stadia for this world cup. It's certain, according to Disability Rights UK, that there are thousands more that will have suffered injuries during that work, and those would have led to disabilities. Their fates and their needs are hidden, whilst what is in the global eye is shining, with the facilities for disabled supporters in this world cup among the best that there have ever been in the history of the competition, which is to be welcomed of course, but we need to hear the voices of disabled people and acknowledge their experiences, which is as crucial in Qatar as it is here in Wales. It's not about access literally to buildings - although of course that needs to be addressed - but it's the values of society, the social and economic policies in place, that close people out and create inequalities and a lack of opportunities to deliver potential. The Minister for Economy has stated this morning that the links between Wales and Qatar are to be developed. But if we are serious about our commitment in our future generations legislation to being a nation that is responsible at a global level, whilst contributing positively to global well-being, do you agree, Minister, that we must deeply consider the kinds of nations that we develop economic relationships with, if our words and aspirations are to correspond with our actions? Have you had a conversation with your fellow Minister about that, Minister? Plaid Cymru, as you mentioned, is very proud of the commitment in our co-operation agreement with the Government to strengthen the rights of disabled people in Wales and to tackle the inequalities that they continue to face, and to ensure the success of the disability rights taskforce, which was established in response to the 'Locked out' report. That report demonstrated clearly that the rights, well-being and dignity of disabled people, even in a nation like Wales, were far too vulnerable and, in a period of crisis, were often neglected or left behind. Now, as you've mentioned, the cost-of-living crisis and the economic crisis are hitting disabled people harder than most. I'd like to ask, Minister: how specifically will the work of the taskforce ensure that the door doesn't remain locked during this economic crisis? Another thing that I would like to understand, and that you mentioned, is the importance of laws and international human rights in this regard. So, would it be possible to have some sort of timetable or schedule for incorporating the UN convention on the rights of disabled people, something that has been pledged in the programme for government? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Diolch am y datganiad, Weinidog. Yn ôl Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, mae biliwn o bobl, neu 15 y cant o boblogaeth y byd, â rhyw fath o anabledd. Mae nodi Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Pobl Anabl nid yn unig yn gyfle i sicrhau ein bod yn cofio pwysigrwydd sicrhau tegwch a chyfle cyfartal i bobl anabl yma yng Nghymru, ond hefyd i'r biliwn o bobl ar draws y byd sy'n wynebu anghydraddoldebau ac anghyfiawnder o bob math o ddydd i ddydd. Dwi eisiau inni ddal ymlaen i'r elfen ryngwladol yna, a hefyd ddal ymlaen i'r ffaith bod yna fwlch, yn aml, rhwng profiadau pobl anabl a datganiadau'r rhai sydd mewn grym. Mae'n rhaid sôn, â llygaid Cymru ar Qatar heddiw, a'n Gweinidog economi yno, am genhedloedd sydd ddim yn cydnabod anableddau yn gywir, ac felly ddim yn cefnogi pobl anabl yn ddigonol er gwaetha eu datganiadau am bolisïau blaengar - y bwlch yna eto rhwng rhethreg Llywodraethau a phrofiadau pobl anabl eu hunain. Mae Disability Rights UK, er enghraifft, wedi cwestiynu agwedd Qatar tuag at eu dinasyddion anabl, gan eu bod yn honni mai dim ond 0.5 y cant o'i phoblogaeth sydd yn anabl, sydd yn anghyson iawn â'r norm rhyngwladol o rhwng 15 i 25 y cant. A dywed Disability Rights UK mai haint a ffactorau genetig sy'n gyfrifol yn bennaf am anableddau yn ôl gwefan Llywodraeth Qatar, tra mai anafiadau sy'n achosi rhwng traean a 50 y cant o anableddau fel arfer. Rŷn ni wedi clywed Llywodraeth Qatar heddiw yn cydnabod bod cannoedd o bobl wedi marw wrth wneud y gwaith adeiladu ar gyfer y cwpan byd hwn. Yna mae'n sicr, medd Disability Rights UK, bod yna filoedd yn fwy wedi dioddef anafiadau yn ystod y gwaith yma a fyddai wedi achosi anableddau. Mae eu tynged a'u hanghenion nhw yn gudd, tra bod yr hyn sydd yng ngolwg y byd yn sgleiniog, gyda'r cyfleusterau ar gyfer cefnogwyr anabl yn y cwpan byd hwn gyda'r gorau a fu erioed yn hanes y gystadleuaeth, sydd i'w groesawu wrth gwrs, ond clywed lleisiau pobl anabl a chydnabod eu profiad sy'n hollbwysig yn Qatar, fel yma yng Nghymru. Nid diffyg mynediad llythrennol yn unig i adeiladau ac yn blaen - er bod, wrth gwrs, angen edrych ar hynny - ond gwerthoedd cymdeithas, polisïau cymdeithasol ac economaidd sy'n cau pobl mas ac yn creu anghydraddoldeb a diffyg cyfleon i gyflawni potensial. Mae Gweinidog yr Economi wedi datgan y bore yma bod y cysylltiadau rhwng Cymru a Qatar i gael eu datblygu. Os ydym o ddifri am yr ymrwymiad yn ein Deddf cenedlaethau'r dyfodol i fod yn genedl sy'n gyfrifol ar lefel fyd-eang a chyfrannu'n gadarnhaol at lesiant byd-eang, ydych chi'n cytuno, Weinidog, bod rhaid i ni ddwysystyried y math o wledydd rydym yn creu perthynas economaidd gyda nhw, os yw'n geiriau a'n dyheadau yn cyd-fynd gyda'n gweithredoedd? Ydych chi wedi cael sgwrs gyda'ch cyd-Weinidog am hynny, Weinidog? Mae Plaid Cymru, fel gwnaethoch chi sôn, yn hynod falch o'r ymrwymiad yn ein cytundeb cydweithio gyda'r Llywodraeth i gryfhau hawliau pobl anabl yng Nghymru a mynd i'r afael â'r anghydraddoldebau y maent yn parhau i'w hwynebu, ac i sicrhau llwyddiant y tasglu hawliau anabledd a sefydlwyd i ymateb i'r adroddiad 'Drws ar Glo'. Roedd yr adroddiad hwnnw yn dangos yn glir bod hawliau, lles ac urddas pobl anabl, hyd yn oed mewn cenedl fel Cymru, yn llawer rhy fregus, ac ar gyfnod o argyfwng, yn aml yn cael eu hesgeuluso neu eu gadael ar ôl. Nawr, fel y sonioch chi, mae'r argyfwng costau byw a'r argyfwng economaidd yn taro pobl anabl yn galetach. Felly, hoffwn ofyn, Weinidog: sut yn benodol mae gwaith y tasglu yn sicrhau nad yw'r drws ar glo yn ystod yr argyfwng economaidd yma? Rhywbeth arall byddwn i'n hoffi deall yw: gwnaethoch chi sôn hefyd am bwysigrwydd cyfraith a hawliau dynol rhyngwladol yn hyn o beth, felly a fyddai'n bosib cael rhyw fath o amserlen neu amserlun ar gyfer mewngorfforiaethu confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar hawliau pobl anabl, rhywbeth sydd wrth gwrs wedi cael ei addo yn y rhaglen ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru? Diolch yn fawr.
