English: I thank the Member for the question and for the work that she has done so consistently over the years in this area, and for the part she has played in making sure that this Assembly will be debating this matter on the floor here tomorrow afternoon. If I think of the Home Office figures, then I think there are four things that I draw from them immediately, Llywydd. The first is that Wales is not immune to hate crime and the horrors that it brings, and we should never think that, somehow, these things don't happen here - they do - and, secondly, that behind the figures lies a combination of better reporting and recording as well as real increases in instances. We have had a policy in Wales since 2014 of driving up reporting in this area, of persuading people to have confidence to come forward to the police, and then working with the police to make sure that those reports are properly recorded and reported. So, there is something, I hope, in these figures that demonstrates that people are more willing to come forward and more willing to take these things seriously. But as well as that, there is a real rise in incidents in these figures too. I think the third thing that I learned from the figures is that hate crime happens across the whole range of targets; 68 per cent of hate crime is race hate crime, but as Joyce Watson said, over 400 disability hate crimes were recorded in Wales last year. I find myself just baffled by it - how anybody could think that someone who already has to deal with the issues of disability becomes a victim of crime because of the disability that they suffer. And an 88 per cent increase, the largest increase of all, as Joyce Watson said, in transgender hate crime. I think the fourth point that I draw from it, Llywydd, is the importance of the investment that we make in Wales in resisting hate crime - the extra money we've put into the national hate crime report and support centre, the additional investment in the hate crime minority communities grant, the community cohesion grant that we provide through the Welsh Government, supported across the Chamber here, I know. All of these things help to make a difference, and it is by working with others, whether that is Show Racism the Red Card or whether it is formal bodies like the Football Association of Wales, that we can do what we can to row back the hateful presence of hate crime in Wales as elsewhere.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn ac am y gwaith y mae hi wedi ei wneud mor gyson dros y blynyddoedd yn y maes hwn, ac am y rhan y mae hi wedi ei chwarae i sicrhau y bydd y Cynulliad hwn yn trafod y mater hwn ar y llawr yn y fan yma brynhawn yfory. Wrth feddwl am ffigurau'r Swyddfa Gartref, yna rwy'n credu bod pedwar peth yr wyf i'n eu cymryd ohonynt yn syth, Llywydd. Y cyntaf yw nad yw Cymru yn rhydd o droseddau casineb a'r erchyllterau a ddaw yn eu sgil, ac ni ddylem byth feddwl, rywsut, nad yw'r pethau hyn yn digwydd yma - maen nhw - ac, yn ail, y ceir cyfuniad o well adrodd a chofnodi y tu ôl i'r ffigurau yn ogystal â chynnydd gwirioneddol i nifer yr achosion. Bu gennym ni bolisi yng Nghymru ers 2014 o annog adrodd yn y maes hwn, o berswadio pobl i fod â hyder i ddod ymlaen at yr heddlu, ac yna gweithio gyda'r heddlu i wneud yn siŵr bod yr adroddiadau hynny'n cael eu cofnodi a'u hadrodd yn gywir. Felly, mae rhywbeth, gobeithio, yn y ffigurau hyn sy'n dangos bod pobl yn fwy parod i ddod ymlaen ac yn fwy parod i gymryd y pethau hyn o ddifrif. Ond yn ogystal â hynny, mae cynnydd gwirioneddol i nifer y digwyddiadau yn y ffigurau hyn hefyd. Rwy'n credu mai'r trydydd peth a ddysgais o'r ffigurau yw bod troseddau casineb yn digwydd ar draws yr ystod gyfan o dargedau; troseddau casineb hiliol yw 68 y cant o droseddau casineb, ond fel y dywedodd Joyce Watson, cofnodwyd dros 400 o droseddau casineb ar sail anabledd yng Nghymru y llynedd. Nid wyf i'n deall o gwbl - sut y gallai unrhyw un feddwl bod rhywun sydd eisoes yn gorfod ymdrin â phroblemau anabledd yn dod yn ddioddefwr trosedd oherwydd yr anabledd y mae'n ei ddioddef. A chynnydd o 88 y cant, y cynnydd mwyaf oll, fel y dywedodd Joyce Watson, i droseddau casineb trawsrywiol. Rwy'n credu mai'r pedwerydd pwynt yr wyf i'n ei gymryd ohono, Llywydd, yw pwysigrwydd y buddsoddiad yr ydym ni'n ei wneud yng Nghymru i wrthsefyll troseddau casineb - yr arian ychwanegol yr ydym ni wedi ei roi i'r ganolfan adrodd a chymorth cenedlaethol ar gyfer troseddau casineb, y buddsoddiad ychwanegol yn y grant troseddau casineb cymunedau lleiafrifol, y grant cydlyniant cymunedol yr ydym ni'n ei ddarparu trwy Lywodraeth Cymru, a gefnogir ar draws y Siambr yn y fan yma, mi wn. Mae'r pethau hyn i gyd yn helpu i wneud gwahaniaeth, a thrwy weithio gydag eraill, boed hynny'n Dangos y Cerdyn coch i Hiliaeth neu gyrff ffurfiol fel Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru, y gallwn wneud yr hyn a allwn i leihau presenoldeb atgas troseddau casineb yng Nghymru fel mewn mannau eraill.
