Motion NDM6608 as amended:

To propose the National Assembly of Wales:

1. Notes the Equality and Human Rights Commission Wales Committee Annual Review 2016-2017

2. Notes that the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s aim of eliminating violence in the community requires implementation of the wider Welsh Government pledges made during the passage of the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Act (Wales) 2015.

3. Notes with concern the increase in reported hate crime in Wales.

4. Notes that the Equality and Human Right’s Commission’s efforts to ensure that equality and human rights are embedded in work taken forward under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2017 will require “real and meaningful dialogue between communities, individuals and their public services” as called for by the Future Generations Commissioner in her draft strategic plan.
