Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: evidence session 1
Can I just quickly ask a quick follow up on that, then, Wanjiku? So, are you saying that there's funding available to BAWSO to work on domestic violence with men, but you're saying that it needs to be widened, or is the funding there?

Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn. I'm going to ask about support, about funding, and it would be great to hear from all of you about this, if that's possible. It's about specialist support and funding from the Welsh Government. And I guess the opening…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Post-Brexit funding
Well, thank you very much for your intervention. Perhaps you could respond to the NFU. As Mabon has said to us, the NFU themselves have told us about the lack of funding for our farmers and how let down they feel, so it really is important that we think about…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Post-Brexit funding
People have been repeatedly told since the 2016 referendum—it seems like a very long time ago, doesn't it—that we would not be a penny worse off than when we left the EU. I'm not going to retrace the arguments about how inadequate the UK Government has been…

Inquiry into violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—migrant women: scene-setting session
Thank you. I just really want to stay with the no recourse to public funds situation, NRPF, and the issue as well there for me is about the children involved, because my understanding is that they could access section 20 funds from the local authority under…

Thank you, Chair. I just want to focus on women who have no recourse to public funds. We've heard a little about this already, but just one question from me, if I may: what kind of steps do you believe would have a positive impact on this group in the UK, but…

Debate on the Equality and Social Justice Committee Report: 'Minding the future: The childcare barrier facing working parents'
Thank you also to Sam Rowlands for joining us. Childcare is the most frequently cited barrier for women in work. It is a huge cost for working families, and it's a barrier for parents looking to re-enter the workforce, as we've heard from Laura Anne. That's…
