Mae ystadegau’n dangos bod merched yn fwy tebygol o gael eu heffeithio gan gam-drin domestig a chan mai hwy sy’n rhoi’r gofal yn bennaf yn eu teuluoedd, maent yn fwy tebygol hefyd o ffoi gyda phlant. Bydd yr £1.2m yn galluogi sefydliadau i brynu tai cymunedol sy’n gallu diwallu anghenion teuluoedd yn well lle nad yw lloches yn briodol efallai, neu fel cam nesaf ar ôl lloches, sy’n cael ei adnabod fel llety ‘symud ymlaen’.
Statistics show women are more likely to be affected by domestic abuse and, as they are predominately the care-givers within their families, they are also more likely to flee with children. The £1.2m will enable organisations to acquire community-based housing which can better meet the needs of families where a refuge may not be appropriate, or as the next step after a refuge, known as ‘move-on’ accommodation.
