📢 Gwasanaeth Newydd yn Sir Benfro. Mae Dewis Choice yn falch o gyhoeddi, diolch i gyllid gan Moondance, ein bod bellach yn cefnogi pobl hŷn sy’n wynebu cam-drin domestig yn Sir Benfro. Rhannwch y newyddion hyn gyda'r rhai a allai elwa - gyda'n gilydd gallwn adeiladu cymuned fwy diogel a mwy cefnogol

📢 New Service in Pembrokeshire 🌟 Dewis Choice is excited to announce that, thanks to Moondance FUNDING, we now support older people facing domestic abuse in Pembrokeshire. Please share this news with those who might benefit – together, we can build a safer, more supportive community💜

🏳️‍🌈Sut mae cam-drin domestig yn effeithio ar unigolion LHDTC+ hŷn? Wrth i ni fyfyrio ar Fis Hanes LHDTC+ mae'n bwysig gofyn y cwestiwn hwn. Mae ein ffilm 'Do You See Me?' yn cynnig golwg agos ar brofiadau pedwar dioddefwr-oroeswr LHDTC+ hŷn. 🧵1/2

🏳️‍🌈 As we reflect on LGBTQ+ History Month, we're asking how does domestic abuse impact older LGBTQ+ individuals? Our film 'Do You See Me?' offers an intimate look at the real-life experiences of four older LGBTQ+ victim-survivors and is co-produced by victim-survivors from the LGBTQ+ community 🧵1/2

🏳️‍🌈How does age, sexuality & gender identity shape experiences of Domestic Abuse? This LGBTQ+ History Month, our podcast explores this with real stories & expert insights. ⚠️Content note: discussions of transphobia, homophobia, sexual violence & attempted suicide

Sut mae hunaniaeth o ran oedran, rhywioldeb a rhywedd yn ffurfio profiadau o gam-drin domestig? Yn ystod Mis Hanes LHDTC+ mae ein podlediad yn edrych ar hyn gan ddefnyddio storïau gwir a sylwadau arbenigol. Nodyn am y cynnwys: trafodaeth am drawsffobia, homoffobia, trais rhywiol & ymgais ar hunanlad
