Wales statement of solidarity and togetherness – Datganiad Cymru o undod a chydberthynas

Datganiad Cymru o undod a chydberthynas – Wales statement of solidarity and togetherness

We were shocked by the violent attack that took place in Southport last week and are deeply saddened by the murder of young girls as well as the injuries inflicted on the other victims.  Our sympathies are with the victims, their families and friends. 

Cawsom ein syfrdanu gan yr ymosodiad treisgar a ddigwyddodd yn Southport yr wythnos ddiwethaf ac rydym wedi ein tristau’n fawr gan lofruddiaeth tair merch fach yn ogystal â’r anafiadau a achoswyd i’r dioddefwyr eraill. Cydymdeimlwn â’r dioddefwyr, eu teuluoedd a’u ffrindiau.

The tragic attack in Southport has been used as a vehicle to incite hatred and to attempt to divide communities through the spread of disinformation and lies. The violence, racism and Islamophobia that this has caused does not represent who we are, nor the opinions of the vast majority of the people of Wales.  

Mae’r ymosodiad trasig yn Southport wedi’i ddefnyddio fel cyfrwng i ysgogi casineb ac i geisio rhannu cymunedau trwy ledaenu gwybodaeth anghywir a chelwydd. Nid yw’r trais, yr hiliaeth ac Islamoffobia y mae hyn wedi’u hachosi yn cynrychioli pwy ydym ni, na barn y mwyafrif helaeth o bobl Cymru.

It is not right that people are afraid to attend the mosque for fear of attack, it is not right that a child faces racist slurs from their peers because of the colour of their skin and it is not right that a man threatens a woman for wearing a hijab. These things are happening on streets in Wales. We can do better than this.  

Nid yw’n iawn fod pobl yn ofni mynd i’r mosg rhag ofn ymosodiad, nid yw’n iawn fod plentyn yn wynebu anfri hiliol gan ei gyfoedion oherwydd lliw eu croen ac nid yw’n iawn fod dyn yn bygwth menyw am wisgo hijab. Mae’r pethau hyn yn digwydd ar strydoedd Cymru. Gallwn wneud yn well na hyn.

We stand in solidarity with people experiencing racist hatred, Islamophobia and discrimination. We stand against behaviour which would seek to separate neighbour from neighbour or cast a shadow of otherness on any group of people. 

Rydym yn sefyll mewn undod â phobl sy’n profi casineb hiliol, Islamoffobia a gwahaniaethu. Rydym yn sefyll yn erbyn ymddygiad a fyddai’n ceisio gwahanu cymydog oddi wrth gymydog neu daflu cysgod arallrwydd ar unrhyw grŵp o bobl.

Wales has a strong and proud history of welcome, diversity and inclusion. If Wales is to help address the great challenges we face – climate and nature emergency, widening economic inequality, war and other injustices – then we need a society that is built on kindness, connection and respect.

Mae gan Gymru hanes cryf a balch o groeso, amrywiaeth a chynhwysiant. Os yw Cymru am helpu i fynd i’r afael â’r heriau mawr sy’n ein hwynebu – newid hinsawdd, tŵf anghydraddoldeb economaidd, rhyfel ac anghyfiawnderau eraill – yna mae arnom angen cymdeithas sydd wedi’i hadeiladu ar garedigrwydd, cysylltiad a pharch.

We ask all people of Wales to value one another and to remember that our strength comes from our openness compassion, and a willingness to come together as friends, neighbours, and colleagues – we are all humans on this one planet we share regardless of skin colour, religious belief or nationality.  

Gofynnwn i holl bobl Cymru werthfawrogi ein gilydd a chofio bod ein cryfder yn dod o’n didwylledd, ein tosturi a’n parodrwydd i ddod at ein gilydd fel ffrindiau, cymdogion a chydweithwyr – rydyn ni i gyd yn fodau dynol ar yr un blaned hon rydym ni’n ei rhannu waeth beth fo lliw’r croen, cred grefyddol neu genedligrwydd.

We all want a fairer and more peaceful world – this can only be achieved if we choose togetherness over division, dignity over dehumanisation, love over hate, kindness over cruelty.   

Rydym ni i gyd eisiau byd tecach a mwy heddychlon – dim ond os ydym yn dewis undod dros raniad, urddas dros ddad-ddyneiddio, cariad dros gasineb, caredigrwydd dros greulondeb, y gellir cyflawni hyn.

As you walk the streets of Wales today, please be kind, smile, say hello and remember: ‘we have far more in common than that which divides us’. 

Wrth i chi gerdded strydoedd Cymru heddiw, byddwch yn garedig, gwenwch, dywedwch helo a chofiwch, mae gennym lawer mwy yn gyffredin na’r hyn sy’n ein rhannu’.
