English: Positives aside, certain issues that pertain to relationships and sexuality remain prevalent in Welsh society, and I hope that, in responding to this debate, the Minister can shed some light on how this aspect of the curriculum will help remedy these problems. As we heard in a recent Estyn report, it was found that pupils are pressured regularly to send nude photos, and girls harassed over the length of their skirts. In this regard, about half of secondary pupils said they had experienced sexual harassment from fellow pupils, that twice as many girls said they had faced sexual harassment from boys, while 46 of those who'd experienced it decided not to tell anyone else. It's shocking, but not entirely surprising to see that 71 per cent of male pupils and 82 per cent of female pupils had reported seeing peer-on-peer sexual harassment in secondary schools. We welcome the whole-education approach taken to ending misogyny and violence against women and girls in the new curriculum. And in light of these alarming findings in the Estyn report, it's clearer than ever that we need robust RSE provision in our curriculum, and that this provision empowers pupils to trust their teachers, stand up to their peers and report all forms of sexual harassment. The Minister's response to this debate could hopefully clarify how RSE provision could go about remedying this horrible and ongoing problem in our schools. As the Minister referenced in his statement, Estyn inspectors also found that many LGBTQ+ pupils had substantial personal experiences of homophobic bullying and harassment, with most LGBTQ+ pupils surveyed by Estyn saying they felt only a few teachers would do anything about it if they heard homophobic slurs being used against them. It's concerning to note that some of the more oppositional consultation responses often masked prejudice and discriminatory attitudes against transgender people, so I'd like to go on record and reaffirm my and my party's commitment to ensure that LGBTQ+ voices and experiences need to be heard and affirmed, and our continuing promise to actively promote LGBTQ+ rights. In responding to this debate, I'd appreciate it if the Minister could further explain how the RSE code will help LGBTQ+ students, as well as their colleagues and teachers, to create a more understanding, empowering and compassionate environment in our schools.
Welsh: Gan roi'r agweddau da i'r naill ochr, mae rhai materion sy'n ymwneud â pherthnasoedd a rhywioldeb yn parhau i fod yn gyffredin yng nghymdeithas Cymru, ac rwy'n gobeithio, wrth ymateb i'r ddadl hon, y gall y Gweinidog daflu rhywfaint o oleuni ar sut y bydd yr agwedd hon ar y cwricwlwm yn helpu i unioni'r problemau hyn. Fel y clywsom mewn adroddiad diweddar gan Estyn, canfuwyd bod disgyblion dan bwysau'n rheolaidd i anfon lluniau noeth, a merched yn cael eu haflonyddu am hyd eu sgertiau. Yn hyn o beth, dywedodd tua hanner y disgyblion uwchradd eu bod wedi cael profiad o aflonyddu rhywiol gan gyd-ddisgyblion, bod dwywaith cymaint o ferched wedi dweud eu bod wedi wynebu aflonyddu rhywiol gan fechgyn, a bod 46 o'r rhai a oedd wedi cael profiad ohono wedi penderfynu peidio â dweud wrth unrhyw un arall. Mae'n frawychus, ond nid yw'n syndod llwyr gweld bod 71 y cant o ddisgyblion fechgyn ac 82 y cant o ddisgyblion sy'n ferched wedi dweud eu bod wedi gweld aflonyddu rhywiol rhwng cyfoedion mewn ysgolion uwchradd. Rydym yn croesawu'r dull addysg gyfan yn y cwricwlwm newydd o roi terfyn ar gasineb at fenywod a thrais yn erbyn menywod a merched. Ac yng ngoleuni'r canfyddiadau brawychus hyn yn adroddiad Estyn, mae'n gliriach nag erioed bod angen darpariaeth addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb gadarn arnom yn ein cwricwlwm, a bod y ddarpariaeth hon yn grymuso disgyblion i ymddiried yn eu hathrawon, sefyll i fyny i'w cyfoedion ac adrodd ar bob math o aflonyddu rhywiol. Gobeithio y gallai ymateb y Gweinidog i'r ddadl hon egluro sut y gallai darpariaeth addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb fynd ati i unioni'r broblem erchyll a pharhaus hon yn ein hysgolion. Fel y cyfeiriodd y Gweinidog yn ei ddatganiad, canfu arolygwyr Estyn hefyd fod lawer o ddisgyblion LGBTQ+ wedi cael llawer o brofiadau personol o fwlio ac aflonyddu homoffobig, a bod y rhan fwyaf o ddisgyblion LGBTQ+ a arolygwyd gan Estyn yn dweud eu bod nhw'n meddwl mai dim ond ychydig o athrawon fyddai'n gwneud unrhyw beth yn ei gylch pe bydden nhw'n clywed sarhad homoffobig yn cael ei ddefnyddio yn eu herbyn. Mae'n destun pryder nodi bod rhai o'r ymatebion mwy gwrthwynebol i'r ymgynghoriad yn aml yn cuddio rhagfarn ac agweddau gwahaniaethol yn erbyn pobl drawsryweddol, felly hoffwn i gofnodi ac ailddatgan fy ymrwymiad i a fy mhlaid i sicrhau bod angen clywed a chadarnhau lleisiau a phrofiadau LGBTQ+, a'n haddewid parhaus i hyrwyddo hawliau LGBTQ+. Wrth ymateb i'r ddadl hon, byddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi pe gallai'r Gweinidog egluro yn fwy sut y bydd y cod addysg cydberthynas a rhywioldeb yn helpu myfyrwyr LGBTQ+, yn ogystal â'u cydweithwyr a'u hathrawon, i greu amgylchedd o well dealltwriaeth a mwy grymusol a thosturiol yn ein hysgolion.
