- W2418318363 abstract "The quality of life in Auckland boarding houses is unsatisfactory for males and femalesalike. The stressful lifestyles of many of the residents can contribute to an atmospherethat is both volatile and unpredictable. This thesis suggests that within such anenvironment it is women who are the most vulnerable. Due to both their(comparative) physical weakness and to the specific characteristics of gender roles it iswomen who are most likely to be victimised within a community under stress.Therefore it is considered necessary to apply a gendered focus and analysis of theboarding house experience.This thesis also maintains that there are a number of factors that have operated toconceal the experience and realities of women in boarding houses. These range fromthe construction of myths and stereotypes, the gender bias of previous research, thelack of protection in current legislation and the low reportage rate of the womenthemselves. Concealment of the women who are the most severely affected by abuseis maintained by medication and by the fact that access to these women is frequentlycontrolled by a caregiver who may also be the abuser. It is these, and other dynamics,that have maintained the invisibility of the particular predicament of women who live inboarding houses.The thesis also positions itself within the debate on the reform and privatisation of boththe housing and health markets in New Zealand. It examines various local andcentral government policies and how they have impacted on boarding houses. It alsoexplores the position of boarding houses within the construct of 'private' and 'public'realms. It is maintained that those in authority are able to abdicate theirresponsibilities because boarding houses occupy an ill-defined position within thepublic/private debate.The research study component of this thesis seeks to explore the operatives of safetyor security in the lives of women who live in boarding houses. It aims to identify thephysical, emotional and sexual vulnerability that women experience in relation to theiraccommodation. The study aims to define the level of disempowerment these womenexperience as a result of their housing environment." @default.
