New Virtual Reality Lets You Experience ISIS’s Genocide of Yazidis as a Victim
Part-2
Viewers’ Reactions
Some viewers have been Yazidis who survived the atrocities that the VR centers on. When survivors view the VR, the staff of Nobody’s Listening are always sure that a psychologist is present. The reactions of survivors, D’Souza said, are often quite intense, such as this Yazidi Man’s reaction.
Many notable people, including Adema Dieng, UN Special Advisor on Genocide Prevention, have also seen the virtual reality.
Another viewer is an Iraqi Christian academic. D’Souza said that, even though Iraqi Christians are also a persecuted group who also suffered tremendously, many Iraqi Christians, as well as other religious communities, have limited knowledge about the true extent of what happened to the Yazidis. He also said that the exhibition aims to highlight the plight of all communities, noting that resentment and tensions can arise between groups over which is perceived to get more international attention and donor support.
D’Souza said that he hopes Nobody’s Listening will bring more communities together in a shared fight against injustice.
The Project’s Future
D’Souza plans to co-author a book with London historian Dr. Alexander Gross. The book will focus on the psychological impact on Yazidi children boys were forcibly recruited by ISIS. The team of Nobody’s Listening are also looking to give effective psychological help to these boys
D’Souza said that he hopes to build more awareness of Nobody’s Listening outside of the West, as he believes that some of the loudest voices calling for an end to global injustices are coming from the global south, particularly among youth as a group.
