The surviving families of the Yazidi victims are calling for action to find out the fate of their missing family members.

"In 2014, ISIS launched an organized campaign to exterminate Yazidis by race and religion. In 2016, the UN Commission of Inquiry recognized what happened to the Yazidis as genocide.

The year 2021 marks the seventh year of genocide against the Yazidis, the seventh year of family members separated from each other, for some people loss and uncertainty about the fate of their loved ones. The Yazidi families and the community are concerned about the ongoing inaction of the international community. If the hostages remain in the hands of the terrorists to this day, this means the continuation of ISIL's crimes against the Yazidi people.

There has been no comprehensive international or government effort to find the missing Yazidis. We, the Yazidi survivors, families of the missing, activists and individuals involved in the rescue of captured Yazidis, and organizations supporting Yazidi survivors, call on the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government, as well as the international community, to take action to find the missing and uncover the fate of the missing Yazidis," the statement said.
