The Yazidi Genocide YAHAD - IN UNUM

Since its sweep through Northern Iraq in August 2014, ISIS has brutally targeted the Yazidi people: men have been shot, women and young girls have been sold and raped, young boys have been forcibly converted to Islam and trained to become ISIS soldiers.

Yahad - In Unum’s “Back To Life” initiative was set up to both document the crimes of ISIS against the Yazidi people and to provide humanitarian aid to Yazidi victims, predominantly children, orphaned and/or brainwashed by the terrorist organization, and women sold into sexual slavery.

Our investigative work into the Yazidis’ fate ISIS has brutally targeted the Yazidi people: men have been shot, women and young girls have been sold and raped, young boys have been forcibly converted to Islam and trained to become ISIS soldiers.

Our humanitarian support is provided in special aid centers

created and run by Yahad’s “Back to Life” team in the IDP camps of Kadia, Kabartu and Cham Mushko. Two such centers provide educational activities and psychological support for children and young adults whose youth has been stolen by ISIS criminals. Other centers offer sewing workshops for women as well as barbershop workshops for young adults which ran for the first time in 2020.
