The Silent Horror: Yazidi Girls Under ISIS Rule

Author(s) Mr. Yamin Mohammad Munshi
Country India
Abstract In August 2014, the Yazidi people of northern Iraq became victims of one of the most methodically organized genocides of the twenty-first century. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), invoking a perverted religious justification, unleashed a campaign of extermination, enslavement, and cultural annihilation against the Yazidis of Sinjar. Among the most affected were Yazidi girls; children abducted, trafficked, sexually enslaved, and indoctrinated in captivity. This paper explores the systematic mechanisms of gender-based violence as an instrument of genocide, drawing from survivor testimonies, United Nations reports, human rights investigations, and legal analyses. It situates the Yazidi genocide within a broader historical context of persecution and evaluates the international community’s delayed recognition of these crimes. The research examines the cultural destruction, the trafficking networks established by ISIS, and the enduring trauma faced by survivors. It further argues that the failure to ensure justice and restitution for Yazidi victims reflects a global moral lapse in enforcing the principles of international humanitarian law. By weaving together history, law, and lived experience, this paper seeks to bear witness to the enduring pain of Yazidi girls and to call for a renewed global commitment to truth, accountability, and the reconstruction of a shattered community.
