118. Once captured by ISIS, Yazidi women and girls are deemed to be the property of the terrorist group, and later the individual fighters who purchase them. In the days and weeks following the August 2014 attack, ISIS detained and registered Yazidi women and girls in sites in Syria and Iraq. The registration process was designed to determine their monetary value, thereby dehumanising them. Shortly thereafter, the terrorist group began to embark on organised sales of Yazidi women and girls. These sales are conducted with individual fighters coming to holding sites, at slave markets where groups of ISIS men inspect and select women and girls, and in online auctions. Attempts to refuse to be sold or to prevent other women from being sold are met with violent beatings. 119. Once sold, the Yazidi females are the sole property of their fighter-owner, who can re-sell, gift, or will them to other ISIS fighters. ISIS fighters threaten to kill women and girls who resist rape. Resistance is also routinely met with beatings and threats against any children the Yazidi woman has with her. ISIS fighters block escape attempts by refusing to provide Yazidi women and girls with clothing that would allow them to move unnoticed in the streets. Escape attempts have been met with extreme violence including the killing of the women’s children, gang rape, rape, and beatings. Yazidi women and girls are also forced to work for the ISIS fighters and their families, including being made to cook, clean and wash clothes. Throughout their captivity, captured Yazidi women and children are treated as less than human and undeserving of respect and dignity, due to their status as “dirty infidels”. 120. Captured Yazidi women and girls immediately recognise the hopelessness of their situation, which is to say the complete deprivation of their liberty. Those interviewed stressed that once they were captured, they had no choice over where they were taken, what happened to any children they had, to whom they were sold and resold, and how they were treated. An as yet unknown number of women and girls, in the face of what was likely to be prolonged and brutal violence, ended or attempted to end their own lives.

something like a last stand for yazidis and kurds
Considering they've been wiped off the map in those regions...........well.....yes

the kurds and----by logical extension the Yazidis of Iraq-----are not doing well
ANYWHERE IN ALL OF KURDISTAN----from Iran, thru Iraq, thru Syria and
thru Turkey------it is tragic. For my part----I vote------FIND A KURDISTAN for all of them
