I think we live in a very unequal Wales. I’m going to flag up some of the issues here. I think violence is violence, abuse is abuse, and I oppose all forms of abuse. If we look at the document in relation to domestic violence, there is no mention of men in the objectives. If you look at the figures, I think it’s one in four females are victims of domestic abuse; one in six males are also victims and the document seems to forget that.

If we look at the funding of domestic abuse support, female support is financed to the tune of millions—as it should be—yet there’s a huge gap with funding for helping men who are victims of domestic abuse. In this city, Both Parents Matter have had £4,500 in the last 12 months, and that organisation stops men killing themselves. It supports grandmothers, it supports aunties and it also supports mothers.

If you look at the publicity on domestic abuse, you never see a female perpetrator, it’s always a male playing up to the very sexist stereotype—you could even say a misandrist stereotype. If you look at the document before the Public Accounts Committee yesterday, information was provided by a female domestic abuse charity, there was nothing—nothing at all—from a male perspective. Nobody had bothered speaking to any organisation helping males in the same situation, and that is sexist.
