Isis and rape

On June 16, 2016, a United Nations human rights inquiry reported that “Genocide has occurred and is ongoing” against the Yazidi community in Iraq. “Thousands of women and girls, some as young as nine years old, have been sold in slave markets. The Islamic State (ISIS) and its fighters hold them both in sexual slavery and in slavery,” the report says, “with Yazidi women and girls being constantly sold, gifted and willed between fighters.”
