Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:30 pm on 21 November 2017.
Leader of the Chamber, I'd like to congratulate you as well, to start off.
I'd like a statement about International Men's Day and what the Government in Wales did to recognise it.
The second point is the legal opinion given to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, published in the Western Mail today, which found that men are being discriminated against in the field of domestic abuse in Wales. I wondered how that is going to inform Government policy, and how you would recognise the discrimination. For example, men are automatically treated as perpetrators when they present as victims. This is found to be discriminatory and unlawful now, and it's happening in Cardiff. I could name organisations here, but I won't at this stage. So, what is the Government going to do about this discrimination that men face in the area of domestic abuse? Thirty five per cent of all victims are male nowadays.
