“Hey, girl. You want some of this?” just took on a whole new meaning.

United Nations (UN) peacekeepers had “transactional sex” with 225 Haitian women in return for UN supplies, including food and medicine, according to a new Office of Internal Oversight Services report.

The report, yet to be formally released, was reviewed by the Associated Press and the details are shocking. The 225 women coerced into transactional sex were all victimized by the same UN peacekeeping mission.

Approximately one-third of the women were under the age of eighteen.

UN peacekeepers, man.
