2023 Orientation camps illegal happenings recording
---------------------------------------------------

Orientation camps are hosted by different parties that conduct subject departments, interest associations, or student residence halls. It is mainly conducted in six parts: Mass game, Disco night, Room game, Detective game, Water game, and Campfire.

Orientation camp game (for the room game)
-----------------------------------------

1. **"Fire unicorn!"**: An orientation room game is called "Fire unicorn!". It is a highly demanding physical strength game. It is a battle game that requires physical dynamism and strategies, with four players playing in teams of two, usually one male and one female. One person (the woman) will be a jockey, and the other person (the man) will be a unicorn. As the jockey rides on the unicorn, the two teams face each other and start the game. The jockeys would push the other side of the jockey or fight with pillows. If one side successfully pushes the other side off balance, they will win the game and proceed to the next round. 

2. **"Once in a lifetime"**: Another orientation camp called "Once in a lifetime." This game is mentioned as the highlight of the orientation camp game. As the name suggests, it is also a game that can only be played once in a lifetime. The meaning behind this game is to encourage dorm members not to obey power blindly, break through the thinking framework, etc. But some people will play this game until they cry. Players must put on a blindfold first and are asked not to speak. Then, the group leader will ask participants to untie something restraining them. There has been a lot of controversy because they are easily misled into taking off their shirts and pants while playing. In fact, the thing that restrains you is the "eye patch", and removing the eye patch is the answer.

Negative influences of Ocamp from different universities
--------------------------------------------------------

1. **Hong Kong University Nursing School sexual harassment and drug-taking cases**

**Details:** According to the news, the group leaders from seniors have been accused of smoking marijuana and molesting students. On the site, there are lots of used condoms abandoned on the floor of the toilet. Besides that, it has also been revealed that people have been smoking cigarettes, vaping or drinking alcohol during the camp, which caused some of the participants to have an allergy attack during the event. There was a freshman who said, "We were all so surprised and confused during the activity of disco night. One male group facilitator asked me to touch my hands and feet. I felt that he was touching me, which made me It's so uncomfortable.", "But we don't dare to expose these sexual harassment behaviours, and we don't know who we can complain to because, from our observation, those group facilitators are all in the same group." 

2. **A case of two girls who claimed that they were raped and being sexually harassed**
in The Education University of Hong Kong Orientation camp

**Details:** A group leader of an EDUHK orientation camp claimed that she was raped and sexually harassed by a freshman at the Ocamp location. At the same time, a group leader of another orientation camp said that a freshman went into the female toilet, and she told the male freshmen not to enter as the door lock was broken. The female group facilitator pointed out that the other party later said in a frivolous manner, "I'm sorry, I don't have my Con (contact lenses), and I can't see anything. I'll have two drinks on my own."

3. **The Sexual harassment in Lingnan University**

**Details:** The university orientation camp Ocamp has been exposed to suspected sexual assault and harassment incidents one after another. The Education Bureau today (3rd) submitted a document to the Legislative Council to introduce the management of university student-led activities and moral education work in Hong Kong universities. In early September, it was revealed that there were same-sex and opposite-sex kisses and tongue kisses in the orientation camp of Lingnan University, and there were also male students "licking" the fingers of female students.

How does society/college/individuals solve the problem?
-------------------------------------------------------

Some of the comments from the internet mentioned that it should arrange a tutor and supervisor for the orientation camp. However, it also raises the judgment about the possibility of the atmosphere after implementing this policy. 

The Technology College President commented that orientation camps have no morality nowadays, which can be blamed on less education. Therefore, the Equal Opportunities Commission could provide videos about which action should be taken offline. After they watched those videos, those students could build up moral awareness and determine what action was suitable to follow. 

Equal Opportunities Commission's Chairperson, Mr Zhu, mentioned in an interview that although nowadays, law cannot regulate orientation camps' behaviour, the government is considering adjusting the law to regulate the behaviour in orientation camps.
In the University of Hong Kong, for the follow-up actions, the nursing school promised to conduct a deep and detailed investigation of the orientation camp and welcome the public to report the cases there for a more comprehensive understanding. Moreover, the Equal Opportunities Commission(EOC) also launched different anti-sexual harassment trainings for people to learn to protect themselves.

Lingnan University stated that all student-led activities must comply with Hong Kong law and the university's "Student Activities Guidelines", and student organizers must abide by the terms of use of university venues or off-campus camps. Neither general student-led activities nor orientation activities may involve illegal activities; obscenity, pornography, violence, gambling, smoking and drinking are also prohibited. If a student behaves inappropriately or vulgarly during an activity, student club officers, parties or other participants may report it to the Student Affairs Office and seek assistance; if the case is severe, the Dean of Students Affairs will refer it to the Student Disciplinary Committee for action. Disciplinary sanctions may include ordering the student concerned to withdraw from school.

Take The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) as an example. The university strongly recommends that all orientation activities be held on campus, and the classic activity "City-hunt games" is also prohibited. Regarding the precautions for holding orientation camps, the guidelines remind that when organizing activities, attention must be paid to the different cultural backgrounds of freshmen. They also emphasize that there is "zero tolerance" for any offensive and inappropriate activities. Inappropriate orientation slogans, slogans and games must be avoided. The guidelines mention that unnecessary physical contact and foul language should be avoided in any games or sloganeering performances, bullying is also prohibited, and alcoholic beverages are not allowed at the event. The guidelines stated that in the past, freshmen complained that the person in charge of the orientation camp did not allow participants to go to bed early. The guidelines reminded that all participants should be respected and that they have the right to decide to withdraw from participating in the orientation camp. The guidelines also list complaints that have arisen in past orientation camps, such as discrimination and sexual harassment. Students must pay attention when organizing activities and reiterate that such behaviour is unacceptable on campus.
