维和人员对平民的性剥削破坏了冲突后环境中脆弱的稳定。尽管如此，这仍然是全世界维和特派团面临的一个持续问题。应对性剥削和性虐待（SEA）的工作重点是制定禁止这种行为的规则、分发安全套以及在部署前和部署期间对维和人员进行培训。为了进一步了解维和人员围绕 SEA 的动态，我们采访了 231 名与维和人员发生过性交易的海地公民，了解他们的观点和经历。这些访谈中出现的主题包括促进性交易的触发事件或情况、个人对自身经历与文化和社会因素关系的理解、性作为满足未满足的经济需求的策略，以及与维和人员的关系和正常浪漫关系之间的差异。还讨论了安全套使用、怀孕、虐待以及举报袭击和骚扰的障碍等方面的经验。
Sexual exploitation of civilians by peacekeepers undermines the fragile stability established in post-conflict settings. Despite this, it continues to be an ongoing problem for peacekeeping missions worldwide. Efforts to respond to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) have focused on the establishment of rules prohibiting this behavior, condom distribution, and the training of peacekeepers before and during deployment. In an effort to further our understanding of the dynamics that surround SEA by peacekeepers, 231 Haitian citizens who have engaged in transactional sex with peacekeepers were interviewed about their opinions and experiences. Themes which emerged from these interviews included the triggering events or situations which facilitated engagement in transactional sex, the individual's understandings of their own experiences in relationship to cultural and social factors, sex as a strategy for filling unmet economic needs, and the differences between the relationships with peacekeepers and normal romantic relationships. Experiences with condom use, pregnancy, abuse, and barriers to reporting assault and harassment were also discussed.
