Their blue helmets symbolize hope. They are sent to countries where entire populations have been devastated by bloody conflicts.

"There are a lot of girls who have had their dignity and hope stolen from them. They must be compensated for the damage caused. And the soldiers who committed these crimes must be punished."
Mimi Kashira		   "We used to believe that the UN mission in Congo was here for us. But when it too contributes to worsen our misfortune, then we don’t know who to trust. We trust only in God."
Marc Kashira
