English: Thank you very much, Laura Anne Jones, for those very positive comments and contributions, acknowledging the importance of Interfaith Week. I'm glad you mentioned the fact that Interfaith Week actually coincides and starts with Remembrance Day, and in fact I was very privileged, and I'm sure that everyone was aware of the fact that Race Council Cymru, for the second year running, organised a memorial service in Alexandra gardens in Cathays for ethnic minority servicemen and women. We laid wreaths on that Saturday. It was the second year, and we were particularly pleased that we had very socially distanced representation there across all the faiths who attended. So, wreaths were laid by the Muslim Council of Wales, the Hindu Council of Wales, the Jewish community, the Christian community - they were all there expressing their faith and their support for Remembrance Day. And people can see that all-important plaque that was placed there last year, supported by the Royal British Legion as well. I also feel that it's very important that you recognise that attitudes are changing, and you see that through the surveys in terms of the views of the people of Wales, through our national surveys, but we know that we can't take that for granted. Now, I mentioned the virtual event that I attended on Thursday that the Interfaith Council for Wales organised, and what was very interesting, again, were the views that came from all of the different faiths represented. One participant from the Hindu faith said that people of faith are right out at the front in terms of the response to the coronavirus pandemic. The temple closing was such a shock - these were two young Hindus who used to meet every week - but they said, 'We've now learnt new skills to keep our faith alive online, and also to look out to the community to see how we could share. We closed our doors, but this led to the opening of our hearts. We grow a lot and we've grown closer together'. Of course, that also is very connected with the Sikh participant at the event who said, 'Faith has taught me to trust. I taught myself to put others before myself. We are all one'. And there were many other expressions of that kind at that event, which, of course, I would have liked many more to have been part of that. It was very revealing in terms of that commitment. I think we also have to face the fact that there is hate crime. Only a few weeks ago, we had the Hate Crime Awareness Week, and it was very important that we looked at the statistics. I had a statement here today in the Chamber, and, following the statement that I made, I met with ambassadors of Victim Support Cymru who launched their hate crime charter, focusing on the rights of victims of hate crime. We signed up, as a Welsh Government, to the charter, showing our commitment to playing our part in tackling hate crime, also recognising that we looked at statistics from the past year and there was actually a decrease in religious hate crime. But we know that it is also about people coming forward, feeling that they're confident to report. I made the point that no person in Wales should have to tolerate prejudice or hate crime, and everyone has the right to respect and should be able to go through their lives without being insulted, harassed or attacked. So, we have to use Interfaith Week as an opportunity to really share and embrace how people are working together, coming together and learning together, and the project in Pill, I'm sure, will be just one of the many examples we could give today.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Laura Anne Jones, am y sylwadau a'r cyfraniadau cadarnhaol iawn yna, gan gydnabod pwysigrwydd Wythnos Rhyngffydd. Rwy'n falch eich bod chi wedi sôn am y ffaith bod Wythnos Rhyngffydd mewn gwirionedd yn cyd-daro ac yn dechrau gyda Diwrnod y Cofio, ac yn wir roedd yn fraint fawr i mi, ac rwy'n siŵr bod pawb yn ymwybodol o'r ffaith bod Cyngor Hil Cymru, am yr ail flwyddyn yn olynol, wedi trefnu gwasanaeth coffa yng ngerddi Alexandra yn Cathays ar gyfer milwyr o leiafrifoedd ethnig. Fe wnaethom ni osod torchau ar y dydd Sadwrn hwnnw. Hon oedd yr ail flwyddyn, ac roeddem yn arbennig o falch bod gennym ni gynrychiolaeth o bellter cymdeithasol iawn yno o bob crefydd a oedd yn bresennol. Felly, gosodwyd torchau gan Gyngor Mwslimaidd Cymru, Cyngor Hindŵaidd Cymru, y gymuned Iddewig, y gymuned Gristnogol - roedden nhw i gyd yno yn mynegi eu ffydd a'u cefnogaeth i Ddiwrnod y Cofio. A gall pobl weld y plac hollbwysig hwnnw a gafodd ei osod yno y llynedd, gyda chefnogaeth y Lleng Brydeinig Frenhinol hefyd. Rwyf i o'r farn hefyd ei bod yn bwysig iawn eich bod yn cydnabod bod agweddau yn newid, ac rydych yn gweld hynny drwy'r arolygon o ran barn pobl Cymru, drwy ein harolygon cenedlaethol, ond rydym yn gwybod na allwn ni gymryd hynny'n ganiataol. Nawr, soniais am y digwyddiad rhithwir yr oeddwn yn bresennol ynddo ddydd Iau a drefnwyd gan Gyngor Rhyngffydd Cymru, a'r hyn a oedd yn ddiddorol iawn, unwaith eto, oedd y farn a fynegwyd gan yr holl grefyddau gwahanol a gynrychiolwyd. Dywedodd un cyfranogwr o'r ffydd Hindŵaidd fod pobl â ffydd allan ar y blaen o ran yr ymateb i'r pandemig coronafeirws. Roedd cau'r deml yn gymaint o sioc - dau Hindŵ ifanc oedd y rhain a fyddai'n arfer cyfarfod bob wythnos - ond fe wnaethon nhw ddweud, 'Rydym ni bellach wedi dysgu sgiliau newydd i gadw ein ffydd yn fyw ar-lein, a hefyd i edrych allan i'r gymuned i weld sut y gallem ni rannu. Fe wnaethom ni gau ein drysau, ond arweiniodd hyn at agor ein calonnau. Rydym ni'n tyfu llawer ac rydym ni wedi tyfu'n nes at ein gilydd.' Wrth gwrs, mae cysylltiad agos yno hefyd â chyfranogwr Sikhaidd yn y digwyddiad a ddywedodd, 'Mae ffydd wedi fy nysgu i ymddiried. Dysgais fy hun i roi eraill cyn fi fy hun. Rydym ni i gyd yn un.' Ac roedd llawer o gyfraniadau eraill o'r fath yn y digwyddiad hwnnw, y byddwn i wedi hoffi pe byddai llawer mwy wedi bod yn rhan ohono. Roedd yn ddadlennol iawn o ran yr ymrwymiad hwnnw. Rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni wynebu'r ffaith hefyd fod troseddau casineb. Ychydig wythnosau yn ôl, cawsom yr Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth o Droseddau Casineb, ac roedd yn bwysig iawn i ni edrych ar yr ystadegau. Cefais i ddatganiad yma heddiw yn y Siambr, ac, yn dilyn y datganiad a wnes i, fe wnes i gyfarfod â llysgenhadon Cymorth i Ddioddefwyr Cymru a lansiodd eu siarter troseddau casineb, yn canolbwyntio ar hawliau dioddefwyr troseddau casineb. Fe wnaethom ni ymrwymo, fel Llywodraeth Cymru, i'r siarter, gan ddangos ein hymrwymiad i chwarae ein rhan i fynd i'r afael â throseddau casineb, gan gydnabod hefyd ein bod ni wedi edrych ar ystadegau o'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf a bod gostyngiad mewn troseddau casineb crefyddol mewn gwirionedd. Ond rydym ni'n gwybod ei bod yn ymwneud â phobl yn dod ymlaen hefyd, a theimlo eu bod yn hyderus i adrodd. Fe wnes i'r pwynt na ddylai neb yng Nghymru orfod goddef rhagfarn na throseddau casineb, a bod gan bawb yr hawl i barch ac y dylen nhw allu mynd trwy fywyd heb gael eu sarhau, eu haflonyddu na'u beirniadu. Felly, mae'n rhaid i ni ddefnyddio Wythnos Rhyngffydd fel cyfle gwirioneddol i rannu a chroesawu sut y mae pobl yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd, yn dod at ei gilydd ac yn dysgu gyda'i gilydd, a bydd y prosiect ym Mhilgwenlli, rwy'n siŵr, yn un o'r enghreifftiau niferus y gallem ni eu rhoi heddiw.
