联合国海地稳定使命团（联海稳定团）受到当地妇女/女孩遭受性剥削和性虐待的报告的损害。然而，关于社区对这些性互动的看法的经验证据非常有限。通过混合方法的方法，本文探讨了SEA的社区经验和看法，出现了三个突出的主题：维和人员作为游客，维和人员作为性剥削者和性虐待者，维和人员作为理想的合作伙伴。乌拉圭人（n = 107，28.1%）和巴西人（n = 83，21.8%）在SEA叙述中最常被提及。我们探讨了联海稳定团维和人员的这些看法如何破坏联合国和平支助行动的目的和合法性，并提出了预防和解决维和人员犯下的战略性剥削的战略。
The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has been marred by reports of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) perpetrated against local women/girls. However, there is very limited empirical evidence on the community's perceptions regarding these sexual interactions. Through a mixed-methods approach, this article examines community experiences and perceptions of SEA, with three prominent themes arising: peacekeepers as tourists, peacekeepers as sexual exploiters and abusers, and peacekeepers as ideal partners. Uruguayan (n = 107, 28.1 per cent) and Brazilian personnel (n = 83, 21.8 per cent) were most commonly named in SEA narratives. We explore how these perceptions of MINUSTAH peacekeepers undermine the purpose and legitimacy of UN peace support operations, and propose strategies to prevent and address peacekeeper-perpetrated SEA.
