mortemia: ace-with–a-mace:nevaehtyler:my heart aches reblogging again because as a Haitian yall needa know this First image:Tweet by Affinity Magazine (@/TheAffinityMag) that reads: “Hundreds of Haitian Women Claim To Have Been Raped By UN Peacekeeprs.”Second image: Screenshot of the article linked by the Affinity Magazine tweet that reads: “Since 2005, more than 500 women and girls from all over Haiti have been raped by UN Peacekeeping soldiers, from which a third of them are minors under 18. Several women claim they were forced to perform sexual relations in exchange for food and medicine. Others were assaulted simply because they were walking to their homes by themselves. An investigation conducted in Haiti to 231 women showed that only 7 of them knew about the United Nation’s policy prohibiting sexual exploitation, and none of them even considered the possibility of reporting the attack. UN Peacekeeping soldiers, in exchange for taking the job, are given immunity in the countries they serve.”Third image:Tweet by petite fleur (@/oheyitskataaay) quote-tweeting the original Affinity Magazine one, that reads: “THIS IS TRUE. AND MANY PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ARE GUILTY OF USING HAITI AS A PLACE FOR SEX TRAFFICKING”Fourth image:Reblog by user @/yasss-black-diaspora that reads: “As a Haitian, I need y'all to stop conveniently turn this news into your fucking anti-US narrative. The UN is not comprised of exclusive United States Soldiers and or Government, it’s a body of multiple countries which include Brazil - whom have been known to assault Haitian women, France and so on. Y'all want to conveniently put the Blame in America and letting these other countries get away Scott free.”[End of image descriptions]Many Chilean soldiers were involved in this too. It was a huge scandal and yet another reason why anyone not a fascist here doesn’t have great feelings for our military. Pigs, all of them. -- source link
