Troseddau casineb yn Aberystwyth – Cymorth i Ddioddefwyr

 

Wedi'i sefydlu yn 2014, darparodd Rebecca Rosenthal drosolwg o'r gwasanaethau a ddarperir gan Gymorth i Ddioddefwyr sy'n cynnwys digwyddiadau, sesiynau galw heibio, ymgyrchoedd, cefnogaeth i wirfoddolwyr, rhaglenni hyfforddi, gwaith addysgol, a gwaith wedi'i dargedu yn ôl yr angen. Roeddent wedi derbyn 14,000 o atgyfeiriadau ac wedi gweithio gyda 2500 o ddioddefwyr ers 2014.

 

Nid yw lefel y troseddau casineb yn Aberystwyth yn fawr ond mae'n amlwg gyda saith achos newydd ym mis Rhagfyr. Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yw'r cyngor cyntaf i siarad am droseddau casineb.

 

Hate crime in Aberystwyth – Victim Support

 

Established in 2014, Rebecca Rosenthal provided an overview of the services provided by Victim Support which include events, drop-ins, campaigns, volunteer support, training programmes, educational work, and targeted work as needed. They had received 14,000 referrals and worked with 2500 victims since 2014.

 

The level of hate crime in Aberystwyth is not great but it is evident with seven new cases in December. Aberystwyth Town Council is the first council to talk about hate crime.

 

 

 

183

Cynnig: Tref Ddi-gasineb (Cynghorwyr Dylan Wilson-Lewis a Lucy Huws)

 

Mae Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yn cadarnhau ei werthoedd a’i egwyddorion sylfaenol trwy ddatgan yn swyddogol bod Aberystwyth yn ‘Dref Di-gasineb’.

 

Wrth wneud hynny mae'r Cyngor yn datgan ac yn cadarnhau tref Aberystwyth fel un agored a chroesawgar i bawb; waeth beth fo'u hil, ethnigrwydd, rhyw, cyfeiriadedd rhywiol, cenedligrwydd, iaith, crefydd, anabledd neu unrhyw ffactor cyffredinol arall sy'n ein nodi ni i gyd yn unigryw; ac nid yw'n cynnig unrhyw le ar gyfer casineb a gwahaniaethu, na'r rhai sy'n dymuno parhau casineb a gwahaniaethu ar unrhyw ffurf.

  

Mae'r cynnig hwn hefyd yn awgrymu bod y Cyngor Tref yn hwyluso ac yn sefydlu grŵp rhwydweithio cydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth.

 

PENDERFYNWYD mabwysiadu’r cynnig gan ychwanegu ‘a gwahaniaethu’ ar ôl y gair ‘casineb’. Byddai cynghorwyr yn gyfrifol am y gwaith dan sylw.

 

Motion: Hate Free Town (Cllrs Dylan Wilson-Lewis and Lucy Huws)

 

Aberystwyth Town Council affirms its underlying values and principles by officially declaring Aberystwyth a ‘Hate Free Town’.

 

In so doing the Council declares and reaffirms the town of Aberystwyth as open and welcoming to all; regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, language, religion, disability or any other prevailing factor that identifies us all as unique; and offers no place for hate and discrimination, nor those who wish to perpetuate hate and discrimination in any form.

 

This motion also proposes that the Town Council facilitates and establishes an equalities and diversity networking group.

 

It was RESOLVED to adopt the motion with the addition of ‘and discrimination’ after the word ‘hate’.  Councillors would be responsible for the work involved.
