English: Thank you for that question. I won't respond in respect of the issue with regard to Senedd Bills, because I think that is, appropriately, a matter for this Parliament to determine. But you do raise issues in respect of human rights. I would, of course, remind the Member that it's his Government that has been making all sorts of efforts and noises that it wants to abolish the Human Rights Act 1998 and has withdrawn us from all sorts of international agreements and conventions that actually promote and support human rights. There have been calls in recent years for the Welsh Government to undertake legislative activity to strengthen and advance equality and human rights in Wales, particularly in the context of the UK's exit from the EU and the COVID pandemic. But we need to be clear about some of the things that we have done in terms of those rights with regard to equality: the implementation of section 1 of the Equality Act 2010, which the UK Government in Westminster still refuses to implement; the review of specific duties under the public sector equality duty to ensure they're up to date, protective and effective; the work we are doing in conjunction with the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Wales to review PSED monitoring and reporting arrangements; work that is going on in respect of advancing the gender equality action plan, the race equality action plan, the LGBT+ report and action plan; lockdown - liberating disabled people's lives and rights in Wales beyond that. Also, perhaps something that will touch more on some of the points that the Member raised, research has been commissioned in order to explore the options available in taking forward the work of strengthening and advancing equality and human rights in Wales. The aim is to develop a clear understanding of the existing legislation and statutory guidance frameworks, the issue of the United Nations' various conventions and how they might be incorporated or engaged with in regard to Welsh law with a view to considering the possibility of the introduction of new legislation. And, again, of course, you'll be aware of the work done in respect of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and also the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015. So, we are working to develop that area. The research report is nearing completion, and it will be distributed to Ministers shortly. It is research that's been carried out by consortia, led by Swansea University, since January 2020, and when that report is available, I'm sure there will be an opportunity to discuss all those opportunities in terms of how we may use the powers that we have in order to improve issues such as the one raised by the Member, but the many more equality issues that exist that we wish to tackle.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y cwestiwn yna. Nid wyf i am ymateb ynghylch materion Biliau'r Senedd, oherwydd rwy'n credu bod hynny, yn briodol, yn fater i'r Senedd hon benderfynu yn ei gylch. Ond rydych chi'n codi materion sy'n ymwneud â hawliau dynol. Byddwn, wrth gwrs, yn atgoffa'r Aelod mai ei Lywodraeth ef sydd wedi bod yn gwneud pob math o ymdrechion a synau yn dweud eu bod eisiau diddymu Deddf Hawliau Dynol 1998 ac sydd wedi ein tynnu'n ôl o bob math o gytundebau a chonfensiynau rhyngwladol sy'n hybu ac yn cefnogi hawliau dynol mewn gwirionedd. Bu galwadau yn ystod y blynyddoedd diweddar i Lywodraeth Cymru ymgymryd â gweithgarwch deddfwriaethol i gryfhau a hybu cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol yng Nghymru, yn enwedig yng nghyd-destun y DU yn ymadael â'r UE a phandemig COVID. Ond mae angen i ni fod yn glir ynglŷn â rhai o'r pethau yr ydym wedi eu gwneud ynghylch yr hawliau hynny o ran cydraddoldeb: gweithredu adran 1 o Ddeddf Cydraddoldeb 2010, y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn San Steffan yn dal i wrthod ei gweithredu; adolygu dyletswyddau penodol o dan ddyletswydd cydraddoldeb y sector cyhoeddus i sicrhau eu bod yn gyfoes, yn amddiffynnol ac yn effeithiol; y gwaith yr ydym yn ei wneud ar y cyd â'r Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol yng Nghymru i adolygu trefniadau monitro ac adrodd o ran Dyletswydd Cydraddoldeb y Sector Cyhoeddus; gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo o ran hybu'r cynllun gweithredu cydraddoldeb rhywiol, y cynllun gweithredu cydraddoldeb hiliol, adroddiad a chynllun gweithredu LHDT+; cyfyngiadau symud - rhyddhau bywydau a hawliau pobl anabl yng Nghymru y tu hwnt i hynny. Hefyd, efallai rhywbeth a fydd yn cyffwrdd mwy â rhai o'r pwyntiau a gododd yr Aelod, comisiynwyd ymchwil er mwyn archwilio'r dewisiadau sydd ar gael wrth fwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith o gryfhau a hybu cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol yng Nghymru. Y nod yw datblygu dealltwriaeth glir o'r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol a'r fframweithiau canllaw statudol, mater confensiynau amrywiol y Cenhedloedd Unedig a sut y gellid eu hymgorffori nhw neu ymgysylltu â nhw mewn cysylltiad â chyfraith Cymru gyda'r bwriad o ystyried y posibilrwydd o gyflwyno deddfwriaeth newydd. Ac, unwaith eto, wrth gwrs, byddwch yn ymwybodol o'r gwaith a wnaed o ran Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015 a hefyd Deddf Trais yn erbyn Menywod, Cam-drin Domestig a Thrais Rhywiol (Cymru) 2015. Felly, rydym ni'n gweithio i ddatblygu'r maes hwnnw. Mae'r adroddiad ymchwil bron wedi ei gwblhau, a chaiff ei ddosbarthu i Weinidogion cyn bo hir. Mae'n ymchwil sydd wedi ei wneud gan gonsortia, dan arweiniad Prifysgol Abertawe, ers mis Ionawr 2020, a phan fydd yr adroddiad hwnnw ar gael, rwy'n siŵr y bydd cyfle i drafod yr holl gyfleoedd hynny o ran sut y gallwn ni ddefnyddio'r pwerau sydd gennym ni er mwyn gwella materion fel yr un a godwyd gan yr Aelod, ond hefyd y llu o faterion cydraddoldeb eraill sy'n bodoli yr ydym yn awyddus i fynd i'r afael â nhw.
