The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (the Royal Commission) examined child sexual abuse within a wide range of institutions that provide services to children, this included residential facilities. The current study (funded by the Royal Commission) considers young people's perception of safety in residential care; specifically, the current study attended to the voices of young people who spoke about sexual harassment and assault in qualitative interviews. Interviews were conducted with young people aged between 13 and 21 years who were or had recently been in residential care. Participants were asked for their perceptions of situations in a series of vignettes describing various levels and types of sexual assault and harassment. During these interviews, the young people in this study voluntarily reported known incidences of sexual assault and harassment in varying levels, perpetrated by workers, individuals outside of residential care, and peers within residential care. Sexual assault and harassment was discussed in heteronormative and gendered ways with young men seen as perpetrators and protectors, and young women seen as being vulnerable. Further, it was evident from this study, that there were varying responses to these situations from workers within the residential care facilities.
澳大利亚儿童性虐待机构应对情况皇家委员会（皇家委员会）调查了为儿童提供服务的各类机构内的儿童性虐待问题，其中包括寄宿设施。当前这项研究（由皇家委员会资助）探讨了年轻人对寄宿照料中安全问题的看法；具体而言，该研究关注了在定性访谈中谈到性骚扰和性侵犯问题的年轻人的声音。研究人员对年龄在13至21岁之间、正在接受或最近接受过寄宿照料的年轻人进行了访谈。参与者被要求对一系列描述不同程度和类型性侵犯及性骚扰情况的小插曲发表看法。在这些访谈中，参与本研究的年轻人自愿报告了不同程度的性侵犯和性骚扰已知事件，这些事件的实施者包括工作人员、寄宿照料机构外的人员以及寄宿照料机构内的同龄人。性侵犯和性骚扰问题是以异性规范和性别化的方式进行讨论的，其中年轻男性被视为实施者和保护者，而年轻女性则被视为弱势群体。此外，从这项研究中可以明显看出，寄宿照料机构的工作人员对这些情况的反应各不相同。
