English: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, for calling me to speak in this very important debate. As other speakers have said, it's 70 years since the universal declaration of human rights was adopted by the UN General Assembly, which gathered in Paris on December 10, 1948. And it was voted in by 48 votes to none with eight abstentions, and Eleanor Roosevelt, the chair of the declaration drafting committee, called it a Magna Carta for all mankind - and womankind, of course. And I think it's quite significant, actually, that one of the abstainers was Saudi Arabia, and when you think about human rights in relation to Saudi Arabia recently with the issue of the journalists and women's rights in Saudi Arabia, I think that's quite significant that they did actually abstain. I'm very pleased that the leader of the house said in her address to us that human rights are in our DNA, because I think there is a tendency to think of human rights as maybe being something a bit distant from our ordinary everyday life, maybe something a bit intellectual, something to do with charters and conferences and people sitting around in important rooms and discussing human rights, but I think that what we have to do as politicians is bring home the fact that they are what absolutely affects us in our everyday life. And something like a staggering abuse of human rights then brings it home to us, which, of course, as has already been mentioned - the Windrush scandal. I mean, that was something, I think, that did absolutely illustrate to us all how this had been going - . This abuse of human rights had been going on secretly, quietly, nobody knowing, and these terrible things had happened to people who had contributed so much to our country. You're aware of human rights on occasions like that, but, obviously, it does affect us, all of us, in our daily lives. I was very pleased on Monday evening to go along to a meeting organised by Helen Mary Jones, setting up for renewing the human rights cross-party group here in the Assembly. And I'm sure Helen Mary will probably speak about that later on if she's called. But I just thought that was a very good initiative, and I'm very pleased to give it my support. And we did have a speaker there from Just Fair, who I thought brought out some really important points. And one of the points that he did bring out was that it's so important that you make human rights part of our everyday experience. And, of course, the leader of the house has already mentioned another group very close to my heart - the Gypsy/Roma/Traveller group, who are discriminated against on a daily basis. I think if you are a Gypsy/Roma/Traveller, and you go out and about your ordinary day, you accept discrimination on a daily basis. I think it is one of the last respectable ways of causing abuse. And that, I think, is a great task for the Government to try to redress that issue, and I know the leader of the house is doing that. But I think we have to make a huge effort. But, in any case, I think we have made progress in Wales. We have made progress on children's rights, with the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011, and it's been very important, I think, the consultation that we have had with children over many different issues. I'm particularly glad that we did consult children about Brexit, to ask them what they felt about Brexit, although I think, of course, we were mocked for doing that by some politicians. But I think it was so important because it's so important that equality and human rights protections are safeguarded and enhanced during the Brexit process and afterwards. So, I know that the Welsh Government will be vigilant about any loss of human rights that will happen during this process. I think it's also very important, because young people were denied the opportunity of taking part in the referendum - 16 and 17-year-olds didn't have the vote - and, although, of course, we voted, their future was affected more than any of us. So, I think it was very important, for that reason, that we did actually consult children. And we do know that children are very concerned about human rights. I think Young Wales did a consultation with children, which showed that secondary school students were concerned about the environment, opportunities to study abroad, human rights and health and well-being, and young people, of course, have expressed in that consultation their frustration that they were denied a say in a vote that will affect their futures. There is a lot more to do, and I agree with the Equality and Human Rights Commission's recommendation in its report 'Is Wales Fairer?' that the Welsh Government should enact the socioeconomic duty, which would bring poverty and equality together and help tackle one of the biggest drivers of inequality in our country - poverty. So, I hope that is something that the Welsh Government will do, but I think it's obviously very important that we have to look at how that does fit in with the future generations Act.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Ddirprwy Lywydd, am alw arnaf i siarad yn y ddadl bwysig iawn hon. Fel y mae siaradwyr eraill wedi'i ddweud, mae 70 mlynedd wedi bod ers i Gynulliad Cyffredinol y Cenhedloedd Unedig fabwysiadu'r datganiad cyffredinol o hawliau dynol ym Mharis ar 10 Rhagfyr 1948. Ac fe'i pasiwyd drwy 48 pleidlais i ddim, gydag wyth aelod yn ymatal, ac fe'i galwyd gan Eleanor Roosevelt, cadeirydd pwyllgor drafftio'r datganiad, yn Fagna Carta ar gyfer y ddynolryw. A chredaf ei bod yn eithaf arwyddocaol, mewn gwirionedd, mai un o'r rhai a ymatalodd rhag pleidleisio oedd Saudi Arabia, a phan fyddwch yn meddwl am hawliau dynol mewn perthynas â Saudi Arabia yn ddiweddar gyda mater y newyddiadurwyr a hawliau menywod yn Saudi Arabia, credaf ei bod yn eithaf arwyddocaol eu bod wedi ymatal. Rwy'n falch iawn fod arweinydd y tŷ wedi dweud wrthym yn ei hanerchiad fod hawliau dynol yn rhan o'n DNA, gan y credaf fod tuedd i feddwl am hawliau dynol fel rhywbeth sydd efallai braidd yn bell oddi wrth ein bywydau bob dydd, rhywbeth sydd braidd yn uchel-ael efallai, rhywbeth sy'n ymwneud â siarteri a chynadleddau a phobl yn eistedd o gwmpas mewn ystafelloedd pwysig ac yn trafod hawliau dynol, ond credaf mai'r hyn sy'n rhaid inni ei wneud fel gwleidyddion yw pwysleisio'r ffaith eu bod yn bendant yn bethau sy'n effeithio ar bob un ohonom yn ein bywydau bob dydd. A bydd rhywbeth fel enghraifft syfrdanol o gam-drin hawliau dynol yn pwysleisio'r pwynt hwnnw i ni, rhywbeth fel sgandal Windrush, wrth gwrs, fel y nodwyd eisoes. Roedd hynny'n rhywbeth, yn y marn i, a ddangosodd i bob un ohonom sut roedd hyn wedi bod yn digwydd - . Roedd yr enghraifft hon o gam-drin hawliau dynol wedi bod yn digwydd yn gyfrinachol, yn dawel, heb i neb wybod, ac roedd y pethau ofnadwy hyn yn digwydd i bobl a oedd wedi cyfrannu cymaint at ein gwlad. Rydych yn ymwybodol o hawliau dynol ar achlysuron felly, ond yn amlwg, mae'n effeithio arnom, ar bob un ohonom, yn ein bywydau bob dydd. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o fynychu cyfarfod nos Lun a drefnwyd gan Helen Mary Jones, i baratoi ar gyfer adnewyddu'r grŵp trawsbleidiol ar hawliau dynol yma yn y Cynulliad. Ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd Helen Mary'n siarad am hynny yn y man os caiff ei galw. Ond roeddwn o'r farn fod honno'n fenter dda iawn, ac rwy'n falch iawn o roi fy nghefnogaeth iddi. A chawsom siaradwr yno o Just Fair, a gododd bwyntiau pwysig iawn, yn fy marn i. Ac un o'r pwyntiau a gododd oedd ei bod hi mor bwysig sicrhau bod hawliau dynol yn rhan o'n profiad bob dydd. Ac wrth gwrs, mae arweinydd y tŷ eisoes wedi crybwyll grŵp arall sy'n agos iawn at fy nghalon - y grŵp Sipsiwn/Roma/Teithwyr, sy'n wynebu gwahaniaethu ar sail ddyddiol. Os ydych yn perthyn i gymuned Sipsiwn/Roma/Teithwyr, a'ch bod yn mynd allan ac yn byw eich diwrnod arferol, rwy'n credu y byddwch yn dioddef gwahaniaethu ar sail ddyddiol. Credaf fod honno'n un o'r ychydig ffyrdd parchus sydd ar ôl o gam-drin. A chredaf fod ceisio mynd i'r afael â hynny'n dasg fawr i'r Llywodraeth, a gwn fod arweinydd y tŷ yn gwneud hynny. Ond credaf fod yn rhaid inni wneud ymdrech enfawr. Ond beth bynnag, credaf ein bod wedi gwneud cynnydd yng Nghymru. Rydym wedi gwneud cynnydd ar hawliau plant, gyda Mesur Hawliau Plant a Phobl Ifanc (Cymru) 2011, ac mae wedi bod yn bwysig iawn, yn fy marn i, yr ymgynghori a gawsom gyda phlant ar nifer o wahanol faterion. Rwy'n arbennig o falch ein bod wedi ymgynghori â phlant ynglŷn â Brexit, i ofyn iddynt sut roeddent yn teimlo ynglŷn â Brexit, er fy mod yn credu, wrth gwrs, fod rhai gwleidyddion wedi ein gwawdio am wneud hynny. Ond credaf fod hynny mor bwysig gan ei bod mor bwysig i amddiffyniadau cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol gael eu diogelu a'u gwella yn ystod proses Brexit a thu hwnt i hynny. Felly, gwn y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn wyliadwrus ynglŷn â cholli unrhyw hawliau dynol a fydd yn digwydd yn ystod y broses. Credaf ei bod hefyd yn bwysig iawn, gan na chafodd pobl ifanc gyfle i gymryd rhan yn y refferendwm - nid oedd hawl gan rai 16 a 17 mlwydd oed i bleidleisio - ac er ein bod ni wedi pleidleisio, wrth gwrs, effeithiwyd ar eu dyfodol hwy yn fwy na'r un ohonom. Felly, credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn, am y rheswm hwnnw, ein bod wedi ymgynghori â phlant. A gwyddom fod plant yn bryderus iawn am hawliau dynol. Credaf fod Cymru Ifanc wedi cynnal ymgynghoriad gyda phlant, a ddangosodd fod myfyrwyr ysgolion uwchradd yn pryderu am yr amgylchedd, cyfleoedd i astudio dramor, hawliau dynol ac iechyd a lles, ac wrth gwrs, mae pobl ifanc wedi mynegi eu rhwystredigaeth yn yr ymgynghoriad hwnnw na chawsant lais mewn pleidlais a fydd yn effeithio ar eu dyfodol. Mae llawer mwy i'w wneud, ac rwy'n cytuno ag argymhelliad y Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol yn eu hadroddiad 'A yw Cymru'n Decach?' y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru weithredu'r ddyletswydd economaidd-gymdeithasol, a fyddai'n dod â thlodi a chydraddoldeb ynghyd i helpu i fynd i'r afael ag un o'r ffactorau mwyaf sy'n ysgogi anghydraddoldeb yn ein gwlad - tlodi. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio bod hynny'n rhywbeth y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud, ond mae'n amlwg yn bwysig iawn inni edrych ar sut y mae hynny'n cyd-fynd â Deddf cenedlaethau'r dyfodol.
