Violence against Women

Janet Finch-Saunders
First Minister, last year, 1.2 million women in England and Wales suffered domestic abuse. In October, the Minister for Public Services gave the Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee assurances that you and he had discussed amending the Gender-based Violence, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Bill to recognise the disproportionate impact that gender-based violence has on women and girls. How have these conversations gone forward and how will that lead to a dramatic difference in terms of amendments at Stage 2 of this Bill?

I think the Member will be pleased by what the Minister has to say this afternoon. So, I will leave it to him to take that forward as part of the debate. I am sure that she will want to express a view then as well.
