Diolch, Lywydd. Firstly, like Joyce Watson, I’d like to commend the Cabinet Secretary on his commitment over many years to eliminating violence against women. I’m pleased to hear from the Cabinet Secretary today that he will work with survivors to develop a delivery plan. It’s crucial that we listen to those powerful voices. One of those voices is Rachel Williams, who’s one of my constituents. Rachel is an inspiration to me and to many others. Her courage and tenacity in speaking out and her energy and dedication to eliminating violence against women is incredible. Can the Cabinet Secretary expand on how else we can ensure that the survivors’ voices are at the heart of the strategy?
