This Senedd:
1. Supports Welsh Athletics’ Own the Night campaign and commends their work to empower women runners.

3. Recognises that safety concerns, particularly during darker months, lead many women to adapt or limit their physical activity.
4. Welcomes the campaign’s focus on fostering safer running environments.
