My Speech on Yazidi Women
I met her on a dark night, in Baadre, a Yazidi village,
on the border of Mosul, in Iraq. It was
the beginning of 2015. She was staying with other women who were saved from Islamic
State, ISIS.
Baadre was one of the biggest Yazidi village in South
Kurdistan. The village is just 5 km.
from Mosul. When ISIS occupied Mosul, most of the villagers left. Now, the
village is home to the Yazidi women who were kidnapped, raped and later saved
from ISIS.
