ISIS' sex slave market: How Islamic State is wiping out Iraq's Yazidi minority

The Islamic State is continuing to wipe out the Yazidi religious minority in northern Iraq – by means of rape: Those women who survive are rejected by their families. Some commit suicide.

The tragedy that has befallen the Yazidis is far from over. Last week, it was reported that the extremist Islamic organization had recently murdered 300 Yazidis and that thousands of women are still being held captive and are serving as bargaining chips.

Recently, ISIS released several of these women, who then found shelter in refugee camps in the Kurdish-held enclave in Iraq. They described some of the tribulations they had undergone to a reporter for the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.

“We woke up in the village of Hardan in the Sinjar mountains with ISIS forces attacking us. We tried to flee, but they captured us,” said one of the women, who identified herself as Dalia. That was on August 3, 2014.

“They brought us together in the village square and told us if we didn’t convert to Islam, we would die. We agreed, to save our lives, but it didn’t help. They took the men and since then we haven’t heard a thing about them," she explained.

"They separated the younger women from the older ones. They sent the young women and the children to the city of Tal Afar and took children who were over 5 years old, including my brother, from us. They imprisoned the others in the school. It was like a slave market. The ISIS commanders, including Turks, Germans and Chechens, came every day and bought one of us females, including girls who were 12 or 13. One ISIS member of Turkmen origin brought me to his house in Tel Afar, where his wife and three children lived too.

Iraq needs a “Glocks for Girls” program. Otherwise these children have no chance of defending themselves against even JV terrorists.

I don't know what shocks me more - that this is actually happening in the 21st Century or that nobody seems to care, much less do anything about it.

Those women who survive are rejected by their families.

That is on them and their culture; if that is the case they are not a whole lot better than Muslims.
