According to a United Nations Spokesperson, 6 minors were among 11 victims of alleged sexual abuse by Tanzanian UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that resulted in pregnancies.
Speaking on the alleged abuse, Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesman for UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said, ''We can confirm that out of the 11 allegedly abused women, six were minors. Seven of the alleged victims have already given birth and four women are still pregnant''
He said Tanzania, which had the primary responsibility to respond to the allegations as the troop-contributing country, had appointed a team of investigators that would travel to DRC “in the coming days”.
