Contents/Summary
- Summary
- UN peacekeepers were sent by the United Nations to keep peace in the Eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a war is raging between rebels and government forces. 20,000 UN peacekeeping troops were sent there to bring stability to the region, but above all, to protect civilians from assaults and sexual violence. But the saviors turn into perpetrators who abuse the helplessness and the extreme poverty of girls and women. Apart from victims of UN soldiers speaking out for the first time in front of a camera, the film also documents knowledge UN Headquarters in New York have about the problem with sexual assaults for a long time. By training their staff and introducing a “zero tolerance policy”, the UN tries to combat these incidents. The official line is that the numbers of assaults have been drastically reduced. However, UN insiders tell us that “on the ground, these measures have no effect at all.”
