QNR – in the Senedd on 24 November 2021.
We are strengthening our violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence strategy to include violence and abuse in the public space as well as the home to make Wales the safest place in Europe to be a woman. This is a societal problem which requires a societal response.
More than 3,600 lower income households in Gwynedd have benefitted from our national Warm Homes programme since 2009, saving an average £300 annually on energy bills. Eligible residents in Dwyfor Meirionnydd can now also access the winter fuel support scheme, including a contribution of £100 towards their winter fuel costs.
We understand the genuine concern of women and girls around their safety, particularly in the night-time economy setting. That is why we are expanding our violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence strategy to include the safety of women in the public space as well as the home.
