Thank you for that answer, leader of the house. Research by Stonewall Cymru has shown that the number of LGBT people in Wales who have experienced hate crime has increased by 82 per cent within the last five years. They also found that four in five hate crimes and incidents go unreported, with younger people particularly reluctant to go to the police. Leader of the house, what is the Welsh Government doing to encourage the reporting of homophobic hate crime by young people and has it considered using social media, such as the This is Me campaign, which raises awareness of domestic violence?
