Abstract

Military presence in fragile settings leads to complex and multifaceted interactions between local women and girls of the host country and foreign military personnel. Children Born of War are one consequence of sexual interactions, whether consensual or not, between foreign armies or peacekeeping forces and women and girls of the host country. One particular group of Children Born of War are children fathered by UN peacekeeping personnel and born to civilian women and girls who reside in countries that host peace operations. Using Haiti and The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) as a case study, this research explores the lived experience of raising children fathered by UN peacekeepers from the perspectives of Haitian mothers.
