7 APPENDIX 4: DISSEMINATION CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Beth mae r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn ei wneud dros fenywod? What is the National Assembly doing for women? Cyrhaeddodd cynrychiolaeth menywod lefelau hanesyddol yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Holodd ymchwil sydd newydd ei chwblhau i r effeithiau gafodd hyn ynghyd â datganoli ar fywydau menywod ac mae r gynhadledd hon yn cyflwyno ei chanlyniadau. Mae n ystyried cwestiynau megis: Sut brofiad yw hi i fod yn fenyw mewn gwleidyddiaeth? Pa gamau a gafwyd tuag at gyflogau cyfartal i fenywod? Beth a wneir yngl n â thrais yn erbyn menywod? Sut mae Cymru n cymharu â r Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon? Daw siaradwyr o r llywodraeth, y trydydd sector a phrifysgolion ac maent yn rhannu eu profiadau wrth ystyried dyfodol menywod yng Nghymru. Women have achieved historic levels of political representation in the National Assembly for Wales. Recently completed research has investigated the effects of this and of devolution on women s lives and this conference presents its findings. It addresses questions such as: What is it like to be a woman in politics? What progress has been made towards equal pay for women? What is being done about violence against women? How does Wales compare with Scotland and Northern Ireland? Speakers are drawn from government, the third sector and the university sector and pool their experiences to explore the future for women in Wales.
