Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary set out the reasons as to why there is no women's refuge in north Wales that can house women who are victims of both sexual assault and exploitation, and drug addiction?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
The statement that there are no refuge spaces in north Wales that can house women who have experienced sexual assault, exploitation and substance misuse is not correct. A number of refuges across Wales, including in north Wales, can and do accommodate individuals with these experiences.
