I take that point, but I do think the Member ought to also realise that some of the austerity impacts that they're having on the ability of people who live independently, for example, with disability and so on, are very much impacting on the services that they require. But I'm more than happy to work with him on identifying any areas in which he thinks we can invest to save, because that's of great interest to us.

But, as I was saying, Jane Hutt really highlighted why we need an integrated approach to ending all forms of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence from leadership to front-line professionals, which mainstreams and prioritises the issues, making it absolutely everyone's business here in Wales.

Mohammad Asghar also highlighted the issue of Islamophobia, and I share his concerns in this area and very much welcome his views about delivering wider community cohesion in some of the ideas that he outlined.

We do support amendment 3, but we should be clear that there have been significant steps taken to increase the confidence of victims to come forward and report. The number of hate crimes reported in Wales in 2016-17 was up 22 per cent on the previous year, but part of the 22 per cent increase is due to an increase in the rates of reporting. This reflects the amount of work the Welsh Government, the police, the third sector and our partners have put into encouraging victims to report. An increase is welcome, as we know from research that almost 50 per cent of hate crimes are still not being reported. However, part of that increase is very likely due to a genuine rise in hate crime around the time of the EU referendum and following the terrorist attacks that took place during the reporting period. I thought that Mohammad Asghar outlined some of the issues there very ably indeed.

The Welsh Government remains committed to protecting and supporting victims of hate crime, violence and abuse. We will continue to deliver our framework for action with our partners across Wales. I'd just like to highlight Neil McEvoy's intervention. Of course, we want to work with all victims of all kinds of hate crime, violence and abuse wherever they are and wherever they are found in Wales.

We support amendment 4. The sustainable development principle in the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, includes in its five ways of working a requirement for public bodies to involve people in their full diversity in everything they do. Therefore, it is entirely within the existing framework and spirit of the Act for real and meaningful dialogue between communities, individuals and their public services to be the expectation when embedding the work of the commission. The work of the Equality and Human Rights Commission contributes very directly to the goals of a more equal Wales, a Wales of cohesive communities and a Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language, but, because of their interdependence, it's also clearly essential to progress towards all of these goals together.

I'll close this debate by once again thanking the Equality and Human Rights Commission. For the past 10 years, the commission has worked alongside the public sector, private sector and third sector to tackle inequality and injustice in Wales. Year on year, the commission has delivered its distinct and relevant work programme to reflect the unique political, legal and social landscape of Wales. The commission is a critical friend to the National Assembly for Wales—here to guide us all and bring about positive change. I look forward to working with them in the future and continuing our very positive and productive relationship. Diolch.
