English: Only this morning on Radio Cymru I heard Rhian Bowen-Davies, who was appointed first national adviser for violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence back in September 2015, confirm that the voices of survivors are not being adequately listened to, especially those from marginalised and disadvantaged groups. I am therefore encouraged to see the Government's commitment to a more holistic approach to this issue, and particularly welcome the steps mentioned in the strategy around listening better to those with lived experience. Welcome too is the commitment to a national framework to try and improve on the too often current postcode lottery that exists for survivors. However, Minister, the specialist sector has noticed a change in language in the strategy as published, from 'sustainable funding' to 'appropriate funding'. So, can the Minister confirm it will be upholding its commitment to developing a strategic, sustaining funding model for the specialist sector that will ensure every survivor has access to the support they need? The last time I spoke to the Minister regarding funding in this Chamber she noted that the revenue budget this year would increase by over £1.5 million on the previous year, and that allocation to third sector organisations had also increased by 4 per cent, and that this would help the increasing demand on support services. Does the Minister think these increases in funding will be adequate to deliver the ambitions of this strategy, and how were these figures decided upon? As there is no budget commitment to accompany the strategy, will there be an accompanying implementation plan to ensure the objectives of this strategy are met? I was wondering if the Minister could provide details also on the stated objective of making early intervention and prevention a priority, as, of course, sustainable funding also protects women and girls from trauma, but also helps funding issues for support services when they do experience gendered violence. Part of this, of course, would involve ensuring that perpetrators of violence against women and girls are caught in the very first instance of this behaviour and that their behaviour is not allowed to escalate, so being able to tackle misogyny for what it is, a hate crime, would assist in this goal. I know the Minister noted before, when we spoke, that she was waiting for input from the policing partnership board and also the Law Commission. The findings of the Law Commission review have been published today, findings that a coalition of 20 women's rights campaign groups have termed a failure to address the widespread concerns about a lack of action by the criminal justice system. Could the Minister therefore give me her response to these recommendations? And finally, could the Minister please outline how the national framework outlined in the strategy would be enforced so as to ensure that specialist service delivery and support are consistent across Wales? What steps can be taken to ensure the standards of delivery meet the required level? Diolch.
Welsh: Dim ond y bore yma ar Radio Cymru clywais Rhian Bowen-Davies, a benodwyd yn gynghorydd cenedlaethol cyntaf ar gyfer trais yn erbyn menywod, cam-drin domestig a thrais rhywiol yn ôl ym mis Medi 2015, yn cadarnhau nad oes digon o wrando ar leisiau goroeswyr, yn enwedig y rhai o grwpiau ymylol a difreintiedig. Felly, mae'n fy nghalonogi i weld ymrwymiad y Llywodraeth i ddull mwy cyfannol o ymdrin â'r mater hwn, ac yn croesawu'n arbennig y camau a grybwyllir yn y strategaeth ynghylch gwrando'n well ar y rhai sydd â phrofiad bywyd. Croeso hefyd i'r ymrwymiad i fframwaith cenedlaethol i geisio gwella'r loteri cod post presennol sy'n wynebu goroeswyr yn rhy aml. Fodd bynnag, Gweinidog, mae'r sector arbenigol wedi sylwi ar newid iaith yn y strategaeth fel y'i cyhoeddwyd, o 'gyllid cynaliadwy' i 'gyllid priodol'. Felly, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau y bydd yn cynnal ei ymrwymiad i ddatblygu model ariannu strategol, cynnal model ariannu ar gyfer y sector arbenigol a fydd yn sicrhau bod yr holl oroeswyr yn gallu cael gafael ar y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt? Y tro diwethaf imi siarad â'r Gweinidog ynghylch cyllid yn y Siambr hon nododd y byddai'r gyllideb refeniw eleni yn cynyddu dros £1.5 miliwn o'i chymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol, a bod y dyraniad i sefydliadau'r trydydd sector hefyd wedi cynyddu 4 y cant, ac y byddai hyn yn helpu'r galw cynyddol am wasanaethau cymorth. A yw'r Gweinidog o'r farn y bydd y cynnydd hwn mewn cyllid yn ddigonol i gyflawni uchelgeisiau'r strategaeth hon, a sut y penderfynwyd ar y ffigurau hyn? Gan nad oes ymrwymiad cyllidebol i gyd-fynd â'r strategaeth, a fydd cynllun gweithredu cysylltiedig i sicrhau bod amcanion y strategaeth hon yn cael eu cyflawni? Tybed a wnaiff y Gweinidog roi manylion hefyd am yr amcan datganedig o wneud ymyrraeth gynnar ac atal yn flaenoriaeth, gan fod cyllid cynaliadwy, wrth gwrs, hefyd yn amddiffyn menywod a merched rhag trawma, ond hefyd yn helpu i ariannu materion ar gyfer gwasanaethau cymorth pan fyddan nhw'n profi trais ar sail rhyw. Byddai rhan o hyn, wrth gwrs, yn golygu sicrhau bod cyflawnwyr trais yn erbyn menywod a merched yn cael eu dal yn yr achos cyntaf o'r ymddygiad hwn ac na chaniateir i'w hymddygiad waethygu, felly byddai gallu mynd i'r afael â chasineb at fenywod am yr hyn ydyw, trosedd casineb, yn helpu gyda'r nod hwn. Gwn i'r Gweinidog nodi o'r blaen, pan siaradom ni, ei bod yn aros am fewnbwn gan y bwrdd partneriaeth plismona a hefyd Comisiwn y Gyfraith. Mae canfyddiadau adolygiad Comisiwn y Gyfraith wedi'u cyhoeddi heddiw, canfyddiadau bod clymblaid o 20 o grwpiau ymgyrchu am hawliau menywod yn dweud y bu methiant i fynd i'r afael â phryderon cyffredinol ynghylch diffyg gweithredu ar ran y system cyfiawnder troseddol. A wnaiff y Gweinidog felly roi ei hymateb i'r argymhellion hyn? Ac yn olaf, a wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu sut y byddai'r fframwaith cenedlaethol a amlinellir yn y strategaeth yn cael ei orfodi er mwyn sicrhau bod gwasanaethau arbenigol yn cael eu darparu a'u cefnogi yn gyson ledled Cymru? Pa gamau y gellir eu cymryd i sicrhau bod y safonau cyflenwi yn bodloni'r lefel ofynnol? Diolch.
