English: I think today, whilst we look back, has to be an opportunity for us to pay tribute, not only to those women who delivered the vote, albeit restricted, 100 years ago, but for the struggles that went on and those women who delivered us here to the Assembly. I'm particularly thinking here that it was in 1918 that we had the vote, albeit limited, but it was 1999, 81 years later, that women took their rightful place to represent their constituencies in this Assembly, and that didn't happen by accident, those numbers. Those numbers came about by a vision and determination by Baroness Anita Gale - commonly known as 'Anita' to all of us, as she would say - the then general secretary of the Labour Party in Wales. And she seized on an opportunity, where there was an absolute blank sheet of people representing 40 constituencies and the regions, and she persuaded and cajoled people to support her vision, and that vision was to select 20 men and 20 women on behalf of the Labour Party to go forward and do their best. And I say she persuaded and cajoled; actually, there were - and there are many of us here who know - hugely heated and highly contested discussions that went on across Wales. And eventually, through those, we arrived at the trade unions and the membership to support that move. There are many of us here who still bear the scars as a consequence, but it was a good move, and it did deliver what we have now. Now, does that make a difference? Not by itself. It will never make a difference in and of itself. So, again, we need to pay tribute to those women who came here very, very early on, and inserted protection for women within the legislative format that is Wales. We had, in the very first constitutional arrangement, an absolute duty to equality that was put in. We also had legislation - well, not legislation, because we wouldn't make it, but statements that we would look after women and girls fleeing domestic abuse and make sure that they were safe. So, it isn't simply about getting women into an institution. It's about getting the right women, with a vision, into this place. And I thank Anita, and I'm sure that you will also, for that. But on Friday, I took part in the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians event in Jersey, and I went to speak to women and girls as part of a programme - a wide programme - that is to encourage women to stand for or take part in politics, at whatever level that might be. So, it is really being part of a wider movement, and I'm really pleased that we've got some money for areas like mine, rural areas and all areas of Wales, to actually think about what it is they need to do in their own communities. And I suppose my question on that is: how are those communities going to know that that money is available to them, because we want as many organisations to apply for it as is possible? Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu, heddiw, wrth inni edrych yn ôl, bod yn rhaid i hwn fod yn gyfle inni roi teyrnged, nid yn unig i'r menywod hynny a enillodd y bleidlais, er ei bod yn gyfyngedig, 100 mlynedd yn ôl, ond am y brwydrau a fu a'r menywod hynny a ddaeth â ni i'r fan hon yn Cynulliad. Meddwl yr wyf yn arbennig yn y fan hon mai 1918 oedd hi pan gawsom y bleidlais, er ei bod yn gyfyngedig, ond 1999 oedd hi, 81 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, pan gafodd menywod eu cyfiawn le i gynrychioli eu hetholaethau yn y Cynulliad hwn, ac ni ddigwyddodd hynny ar hap a damwain, y niferoedd hynny. Daeth y niferoedd hynny drwy weledigaeth a phenderfyniad y Farwnes Anita Gale - 'Anita' fel y'i gelwir yn gyffredin gan bob un ohonom, fel y byddai hi'n ei ddweud - Ysgrifennydd Cyffredinol y Blaid Lafur yng Nghymru y pryd hwnnw. Ac achubodd hi ar y cyfle, lle'r oedd tudalen wag ar gyfer pobl i gynrychioli 40 o etholaethau a rhanbarthau, i ddarbwyllo a pherswadio pobl i gefnogi ei gweledigaeth hi, a'r weledigaeth honno oedd dewis 20 o ddynion a 20 o fenywod ar ran y Blaid Lafur i sefyll a gwneud eu gorau. Ac rwy'n dweud darbwyllo a pherswadio; mewn gwirionedd, cafwyd - fel y gŵyr llawer ohonom sydd yma - drafodaethau tanbaid iawn a hynod wrthwynebus ledled Cymru. Ac yn y pen draw, drwy'r rheini, cawsom yr undebau llafur a'r aelodaeth i gefnogi'r cynnig hwnnw. Mae llawer ohonom yn dal i ddioddef y creithiau o hynny, ond cam da oedd hwn, a ddaeth â'r hyn sydd gennym yn awr i fodolaeth. Nawr, a yw hynny'n gwneud gwahaniaeth? Nid ynddo'i hunan. Ni fydd byth yn gwneud gwahaniaeth ynddo'i hunan. Felly, eto, mae angen rhoi teyrnged i'r menywod hynny a ddaeth yma yn gynnar iawn a sicrhau bod amddiffyniad i fenywod yn cael ei gynnwys o fewn fformat deddfwriaethol Cymru. Yn y trefniant cyfansoddiadol cyntaf un, sefydlwyd dyletswydd absoliwt i gydraddoldeb. Cawsom hefyd ddeddfwriaeth - wel, nid deddfwriaeth, oherwydd ni allem wneud hynny, ond datganiadau y byddem yn gwarchod menywod a merched sy'n ffoi rhag cam-drin domestig a gwneud yn siŵr eu bod yn ddiogel. Felly, nid mater syml o gael menywod i mewn i sefydliad yw hyn. Mae'n golygu cael y menywod iawn, gyda'r weledigaeth, i'r lle hwn. Ac rwy'n diolch i Anita, ac rwyf yn siŵr y byddwch chithau hefyd, am hynny. Ond ddydd Gwener, cymerais ran yn nigwyddiad Seneddwyr Benywaidd y Gymanwlad yn Jersey, ac euthum i siarad â menywod a merched fel rhan o raglen - rhaglen eang - sy'n annog menywod i sefyll neu gymryd rhan mewn gwleidyddiaeth, ar ba lefel bynnag y gallai hynny fod. Felly, mae'n rhan o fudiad ehangach, ac rwy'n falch ein bod wedi cael rhywfaint o arian ar gyfer ardaloedd fel fy ardal i, ardaloedd gwledig a'r holl ardaloedd yng Nghymru, i ystyried yr hyn y mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ei wneud yn eu cymunedau eu hunain. Ac mae'n siŵr mai fy nghwestiwn ar hynny yw hyn: sut y caiff y cymunedau hynny wybod bod yr arian hwnnw ar gael iddyn nhw, gan ein bod yn awyddus i gymaint o sefydliadau â phosib wneud cais amdano? Diolch.
