The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.

Wales’ problem is deeper and more existential. It is not that Wales cannot match South Africa. It is that Wales cannot match anyone of consequence right now.
