protection

The Yazidi religious leaders adopted a declaration facilitating the reintegration victims and their provision of special assistance. We are very grateful, but there are more than 3,000 abducted women who are not treated as prisoners of war. but used as sexual slaves, shared and exchanged among fighters. We understand that the international community has expressed sympathy for our plight, but it must act to stop the genocide and to protect our women so that they do not become objects of such slavery.

To ensure the freedom of more than 3,000 Yazidi women who remain in the hands of Da’esh, I request that Yazidi areas be protected. I also ask for the protection of other minorities to prevent the recurrence of genocide and the enslavement of women.
