The Ongoing Genocide
10th Anniversary of Yezidi Genocide
The attacks by the extremist Islamic group ISIS on the Yazidi population in Sinjar in 2014 shocked the entire world a decade ago. Massacres, forced conversions and women and children sold as (sex) slaves.
The news no longer covers it, but the crimes continue: almost 3,000 enslaved Yazidi women are still not free. The liberators and survivors are scarred for life with deep wounds. Learn more and join the conversation during panel discussions, a film screening and a Q&A.
