UN peacekeepers in Haiti ‘fathered hundreds of babies’ then abandoned mothers

United Nations peacekeepers fathered hundreds of babies in Haiti then abandoned young mothers to lives of single parenthood and poverty, the academic leading a research study has told The Times.

Many of those impregnated were underage girls who traded sex for food or “for a few coins” as they struggled to survive in wake of political upheaval and natural disaster.

An extensive study into the impact of one of the UN’s longest peacekeeping deployments, published today on The Conversation academic website says “girls as young as 11 were sexually abused and impregnated by peacekeepers and . . . ‘left in misery’ to raise their children alone”.

Typical of the UN. And the relevant Haiti earthquake was nearly 10 years ago, so the UN hasn't exactly pursued this matter very diligently. Also typical of the UN.

U.N. 'peacekeepers' are anything but!  The U.S. needs to get the heck out of the U.N.
