English: I would echo Kelly's comments there. It's very difficult as a charity to speak to this point particularly because of the lack of evidence that is out there for Wales specifically, but also internationally and across the UK too. Colleagues who work in Scotland, in Ireland and also in England acknowledge that there's a lack of evidence on this particular area in general. But from our point of view, we are aware more widely, in terms of the situation of harassment and bullying within schools, that it is a huge problem for LGBTQ+ people here in Wales. The Stonewall Cymru schools report in 2017 notes that over half of young people who identify as LGBT have experienced bullying on the basis of their sexual identity or their LGBTQ+ identify more widely. So, that, clearly, gives us a wider picture of the problem in terms of harassment more widely. In terms of the kinds of harassment, that report demonstrated that young people specifically had experienced sexual harassment amongst the experiences that we heard about in that report. I just want to share more evidence with you that perhaps has dated a little bit now, but it does show that there is a lack of evidence. According to METRO Charity back in 2016, almost one in every five of LGBTQ+ children had experienced some kind of sexual violence as compared to one in 10 of cis people - those who don't identify as being trans - or heterosexual. So, that's a percentage of 18 per cent as compared to 11 per cent. We do see that that is a significant difference to think that that was happening in 2016, and since then, the world has changed where technology continues to be an increasing part and a more prominent part of the lives of our children and young people. More widely, we were part of a project last year with Stop It Now! and the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, which are charities that do work on preventing to sexual harassment and sexual violence against children and young people. What we saw through our work with focus groups there with youth workers working with LGBTQ+ young people is that there are additional barriers facing children and young people who are LGBTQ+ from reporting and from disclosing to anyone about the kinds of negative experiences that they experience. So, I would encourage the committee today, and beyond this session indeed, to look at these barriers that specifically face LGBTQ+ people and young people of colour and from ethnic minorities, and disabled people, for example, from reporting, and why some groups of young people and children are more vulnerable to these kinds of violence of harassment. And then, the kind of support, or the lack of support indeed, that we often see that isn't available to those young people.
Welsh: Buaswn i'n ategu sylwadau Kelly yn fanna. Mae'n anodd iawn i ni fel elusen allu siarad i'r pwynt yma'n benodol oherwydd y diffyg tystiolaeth sydd allan yna ar gyfer Cymru'n benodol, ond hefyd yn rhyngwladol ac ar draws Prydain hefyd. Mae ein cydweithwyr ni sydd yn gweithio yn yr Alban, Iwerddon a hefyd yn Lloegr yn cydnabod bod yna ddiffyg tystiolaeth ar y maes yma'n gyffredinol. O ran ein safbwynt ni, rydyn ni yn ymwybodol yn fwy ehangach, o ran y sefyllfa o ran aflonyddu a bwlio mewn ysgolion, ei bod hi yn broblem anferthol ar gyfer pobl LHDTC+ yma yng Nghymru. Mae adroddiad ysgolion Stonewall Cymru yn 2017 yn nodi bod mwy na hanner o bobl ifanc LGBT wedi profi bwlio ar sail eu hunaniaeth rywedd neu eu hunaniaeth LGBTQ+. Felly, mae hwnna, yn amlwg, yn rhoi darlun ehangach inni o'r broblem o ran aflonyddu yn ehangach. O ran y math o aflonyddu wedyn, mi oedd yr adroddiad hwnnw yn dangos bod yna bobl, a phobl yn ifanc yn benodol, wedi profi aflonyddu rhywiol o ran y profiadau roedden ni'n clywed yn yr adroddiad hwnnw. Dwi eisiau jest rhannu rhagor o dystiolaeth ichi sydd efallai wedi dyddio ychydig, ond dwi'n meddwl ei bod yn dangos bod yna ddiffyg tystiolaeth. Ond yn ôl METRO Charity yn 2016, roedd bron i un ym mhob pump o blant LGBTQ+ wedi profi rhyw fath o drais rhywiol i gymharu ag un ym mhob 10 plentyn cis - neu ddim yn draws - a heterorywiol. Felly, mae hwnna'n ganran o 18 y cant i gymharu ag 11 y cant. Ac mae hwnna'n sylweddol iawn i feddwl bod hwnna'n digwydd yn 2016, ond, yn amlwg, ers hynny, mae'r byd hefyd wedi newid lle mae technoleg yn parhau i fod yn rhan fwyfwy pwysig ac amlwg o fewn bywydau ein plant a phobl ifanc ni. Yn ehangach i hynny hefyd, mi oedden ni'n rhan o brosiect y llynedd efo Stop It Now! a'r Lucy Faithfull Foundation, sef elusennau sydd yn gwneud gwaith ar gyfer nadu aflonyddu rhywiol a thrais rhywiol yn erbyn plant a phobl ifanc. Beth oedden ni'n gweld drwy waith efo grwpiau ffocws o weithwyr ieuenctid yn gweithio efo pobl LGBTQ+ ydy bod yna rwystrau ychwanegol yn wynebu plant a phobl ifanc LGBTQ+ rhag adrodd a rhag dweud wrth unrhyw un am y math o brofiadau negyddol maen nhw'n eu profi. Felly, buaswn i'n annog y pwyllgor heddiw, a'r tu hwnt i'r sesiwn yma, i edrych ar y rhwystrau penodol sydd yn wynebu pobl LGBTQ+ a phobl ifanc o liw ac o leiafrifoedd ethnig, a phobl anabl, er enghraifft, rhag adrodd, a pham fod rhai grwpiau o'n plant a'n pobl ifanc ni yn fwy vulnerable i'r math yma o drais ac aflonyddu. A hefyd, wedyn, y math o gefnogaeth, neu'r diffyg cefnogaeth, rŷn ni'n aml yn ei gweld sydd ddim ar gael i'r bobl ifanc hynny.
