In a recent study, these women and girls infected with AIDS, but also forced them to raise the babies born as a result of rape in poverty, it was said.
It turned out that the United Nations (UN) Peacekeepers forced hundreds of young girls and children to become pregnant and raise children alone in poverty during their term in Haiti.
Researchers from the universities of Birmingham and Ontario talked to 2,500 people in Haiti and examined the impact of the UN peacekeeping mission.
265 people talked about rapist UN soldiers impregnating young girls. It was stated that with the emergence of the pregnancy, the soldiers responsible for this were sent back to their country, thus leaving the young Haitian girls on their own.
11 YEARS OLD KIDS PREGNANT!
Research by academics revealed that many of the girls who were pregnant were under 18 and forced to engage in prostitution to meet their basic needs. The report, based on a study published on an academic website, "even 11-year-old girls were sexually abused, impregnated by peacekeeping soldiers, forced to raise children alone in misery," the report said.
A Haitian married man interviewed, said: "They come here, sleep with the women and meet their needs, leave them with children and give them 500 gourde ($ 5)."
"In many cases, the imbalance of power between the occupying soldiers and the people of the region enables them to exploit the women and girls in the region," the report said.
The people of Haiti have been in a difficult period for a long time due to political instability and natural disasters. The so-called peacekeeping(!) mission to the UN, which began in Haiti in 2004, ended in 2017.
The occupying force, which was commanded by the Brazilian army and consisted mainly of soldiers from Latin American countries, consisted of approximately 5,000 personnel, half of them soldiers and half of them police.
'HELP STAFF' EVEN RAPE THE CHILDREN
In addition, some of the employees of the so-called aid organization Oxfam, who sent teams to the country due to the earthquake, were also subject to sex charges for money. The organization issued a report on the allegations in 2011 following public pressure and warned against the prevention of problematic personnel from working in other charitable organizations, but it was found that some men mentioned in the investigation were assigned to various duties in other charitable organizations.
They also caused the cholera outbreak
The UN peacekeeping force was also accused of causing a cholera outbreak in Haiti. After the earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people in 2010, UN peacekeepers joined the relief efforts and the sewerage was connected to the river.
