Add as new points at end of motion:

Calls on the Welsh Government to: 

a) support initiatives which actively challenge cultural attitudes that allow sexual assault and harassment to take place; 

b) produce a comprehensive strategy on preventing sexual assault and harassment in Wales’s night-time economy; 

c) seek clarity from the UK Government on its plans to classify misogyny as a hate crime, which would encourage reporting of spiking incidents and enable better categorisation of crime to understand the scale of the issue. 

Calls on the Welsh Government to work with the UK Government to: 

a) improve reporting mechanisms and processes around sexual assault and harassment; 

b) improve support for victims of spiking and other forms of sexual assault and harassment.
