In 2014, ISIS launched a major offensive in Iraq. The group quickly took control of large areas of territory, including the Yazidi heartland in the Sinjar Mountains. ISIS fighters attacked Yazidi villages, killing men and enslaving women and children.

The Genocide

The ISIS genocide against the Yazidis was systematic and brutal. The group killed thousands of Yazidi men, women, and children. They also enslaved thousands of Yazidi women and children, who were subjected to rape, torture, and other forms of abuse.

The ISIS genocide was a crime against humanity and a violation of international law. The United Nations has recognized the genocide and has called for the perpetrators to be held accountable.

The Aftermath

The ISIS genocide has had a devastating impact on the Yazidi people. Thousands of Yazidis have been killed, and thousands more have been displaced from their homes. The Yazidi community has been traumatized by the violence, and many Yazidis continue to live in fear for their lives.

The international community has a responsibility to help the Yazidi people rebuild their lives and to ensure that the perpetrators of the genocide are brought to justice.

The Yazidi genocide is a tragic reminder of the horrors that can occur when hatred and intolerance prevail. The international community must continue to work to prevent genocide and to protect minority groups from persecution.

Call to Action

You can help the Yazidi people by donating to organizations that are working to provide aid and support to victims of the genocide. You can also raise awareness of the genocide by sharing information about it with others.
