Debate in Plenary at the National Assembly on Mayameen's Child House/Refuge Petition. Legacy

I received this email to advise about the debate that:
Bethan Sayed was taking forward the motion to propose the National Assembly for Wales to:
1. Notes a proposal for a bill to reform and improve support for child victims of sexual abuse in Wales
2. Notes the purpose of this bill would be to:
a) introduce the Barnahus Model of therapeutic led support for victims;
b) work with police to use the Barnahus Model of investigation in all cases of child sexual abuse; and
c) introduce statutory changes to improve emergency and temporary accommodation for abused children who cannot return to their home or are homeless
This was fantastic news and then news came in from Bethan Sayed that we won!!!!!
A massive thank you to Bethan Sayed Am who pushed this through for debate and to Caroline Jones Am, whom has spoken so honourably of myself, that I am "one of the most inspirational women she has had the pleasure to meet... Waiving her Anonymity and going public to raise this Campaign to prioritize children from Sexual Abuse, we owe it to her to listen"... I broke at that point 😭
This Petition only raised 227 signatures, which was not enough to take to debate, however I decided to attend the Petition Handover and I shared my story as to what this means and why. I honour the Power of my Story and thank you to those who signed 💗
Voting time: For 29 | Abstain 18 | Against 2 | Total 49 - Motion was Agreed 🙌🏼
