Why are people so afraid of letting girls get educated? We need to see more of this....hopefully we will. Education drives change but many of these girls, in addition to having to end their education early, also lost years due to the conflict.
Yazidi Women Finally Go To School, Defying Former ISIS Rulers — And Their Own Parents
Before she went to New York last fall to speak to thousands of people, Najla Hussin had never been more than a few hundred miles from her village in northern Iraq.
Hussin, 20, is from Sinjar in northern Iraq, where ISIS swept in four years ago to kill and enslave members of the ancient Yazidi religious minority.
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist for girls' education, met Hussin and other young Yazidi women during a trip last summer to the Kurdistan region of Iraq. She invited Hussin to speak on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
In socially conservative Sinjar, girls were expected to stay home and do work in the house or on the farm until they married as teenagers. Hussin persuaded her parents to let her attend primary school. That stopped in seventh grade.
"They said, 'That's enough of going to school. She should be a housewife,'" Hussinrecalls her parents saying. "I was thinking of myself as a child, not as a married woman ... and I thought all my dreams won't come true."

I and also Mr. Lucy have been involved for some time with organisations helping The Yazidi's, I have at random posted at this forum about this while attempting to draw peoples attention to the terrible treatment and mass murder of and threatened Genocide of The Yazidi's:

So does Azazel/Tawusi Melek/Taus Melek aka the Peacock Angel.MMM..interesting. So they are not strictly Muslim...more a hybrid religion from the 12th century. A worship of a fallen angel named Tawusi Melek...wait...fallen angel?Or maybe not. Do some research. Yazidis - WikipediaSo...let's see. What do ISIS and the Yazidi have in common?
Islam?...maybe?
They worship an angel repelled from heaven by God! You mean to tell me that they are SATAN worshipers?!?!!?11
No wonder they don't want their children to go to school. They are possessed Satanists!
Thank you!
They predate Islam.
Demon worship...by any other name.
That is because Tawûsê Melek is the same as the Ancient Mesopotamian God Dumuzi, he was The God of Shepherds he was just known as Dumuzid The God of Shepherds. This IS because The Yazidi's not ONLY pre-date Islam they go RIGHT BACK to Ancient Mesopotamia itself.
I repeat that The Yazidi's were NOT considered Satan Worshippers by ANYONE UNTIL the late 16th Century/early 17th Century and it was only then that ONLY Islamists began to consider The Yazidi's Satan Worshippers, Mohammed HIMSELF did NOT consider them Satan Worshippers because if he did he would have had them down as that from the 7th Century when he created Islam.
