Thank you, Dr Fenton. And can you outline the case for legislating to ensure schools, colleges and universities respond to and prevent gender-based violence, specifically implementing evidence-led bystander interventions such as the Intervention Initiative?

Thank you very much, Chair, and good afternoon to both of you. Dr Fenton, you undertook a study of bystander experience of domestic violence and abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Were there are any lessons for the Welsh Government from this research in…

In doing all of this, can you assure me that it will be done without shaming men and boys who are involved in this?

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Thank you very much. How should Government engage with men and boys in implementing this? Do you have any examples of best practice? And also, as you say, we have to put it in the schools to boys, and the new curriculum will now place a greater emphasis on…

Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you to both of our guests. Good afternoon. My area of questioning is primary prevention work with men and boys. I am conscious of time, and we have too many questions. It's a huge subject, but I'll try to summarise the…

Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Minister, while any move to encourage active travel by school pupils is to be welcomed, we also have to address the fact that, quite often, safe active travel routes don't exist for many children. I have often raised the fact that, in my own village of…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
In 2007, the world passed a little noticed but critical landmark, the point at which, for the first time in history, more humans were living in towns and cities than in the countryside. In Wales, two thirds of us live in urban areas. It is therefore vital…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much. First Minister, as it is Carers Week, I would like to pay tribute to the thousands of unpaid carers who save our NHS billions of pounds each year. Without their care and dedication, our health and care system would collapse. It is…

Short Debate: A permanent commemoration of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
I thank Tom for tabling this debate and for graciously allowing me a minute of his time. Growing up in Kashmir, some of my fondest childhood memories are about Her late Majesty. Two of my father’s most prized possessions were a special coronation…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS Dentistry
I thank my colleague, Russell, for tabling this important timely debate and, Russ, you are very right in saying that NHS dentistry, despite what the Welsh Government would have you believe, is in crisis—a crisis that started long before COVID hit our shores…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Minister, Wales now has the highest economic inactivity in the UK. A quarter of the population are economically inactive, but, more worryingly, a third of the inactive population is because of long-term sickness. What discussions have you had with the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, sadly, Wales is still a long way from being equal. Disabled people still face barriers and challenges to do things that most of us take for granted. We still hear of incidents of wheelchair users being unable to travel by bus because there are…

Thank you, Chair. Thanks very much. Now, regarding the implementation of existing duties, I'll ask about the 'ask and act' duty, whether it is being delivered. My question is: do you believe that the Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence…

Great. Thank you very much. Is the Welsh Government doing enough in this regard, and what do you think about the UK Government online harms Bill? Is it enough to protect our children?

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 2
Thank you very much. My last question, Chair, is: how do we ensure social media is not impacting upon our children’s relational health, well-being and, increasingly, their exposure to abuse and violence? And, knowing about Andrew Tate, what’s your opinion?
