The Voice of Yazidi Women
On 3rd August 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) attacked the region of Sinjar (Kurdish: شنگال Şingal.)
In their attacks, they targeted with particular cruelty the Yazidi and other minorities, with ISIS leaders openly advocating for the complete destruction of the Yazidi culture and people. ISIS members forced Yazidis to convert threatening their families, committed mass murder against innocent civilians and traded women and children as sex slaves.
In this documentary, Yazidi survivors including men, women and children, share their tragic stories as victims of a terrible genocide; but also show their strength as survivors who didn’t give up and today they look at their experiences with great dignity.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Best regards,
