Chapter 2 - Literature Review According to press release by New Zealand government, the Minister of Education, Hon Trevor Mallard says that “Most hostels accommodating school students are already well run and provide a safe environment. However, in a small number of cases, hostels can be unsafe”. It’s true those accommodation hostels are well run and organize but problems with the safety always being questions. In addition, with the past report by Commissioner for Children, “Past reports prepared by the Commissioner for Children, ERO and others have also raised concerns about very serious problems in a small, but significant, number of different hostels. These problems include bullying, sexual abuse, harassment, physical assault, and related failings of hostel management.” All of this not only happens to the girls but also to the boys. The girls will face more of these problems than the boys because the girls are more weak and fragile. Sexual abuse and harassment always significant to the girls wherever they been.
