In 2014, when the terrorist group ISIS took over the Yezidi region of Shangal, killing thousands of men and abducting thousands of women, the world heard countless horror stories like never. Most of the women who survived the slavery of ISIS are still suffering from trauma, it is difficult for them to get rid of the terrible past.
One of the Yezidi girls who only recently agreed to talk about her trials in captivity of a terrorist group is Siham. Her village was one of the Yezidi settlements subjected to a large-scale attack on August 3, 2014. Only one member of the Siham family survived, while the other 10 were abducted and killed.
"When they kidnapped me, I had a 4-month-old daughter, I didn't have milk to feed the baby. I had to fill a feeding bottle with water so that my daughter could survive. They forced me to wear a hijab, of course I didn't like it, but they deliberately forced us to do what we didn't like. Four members of my family are still missing," says Siham.
The happy marriage in which Siham lived for only a year was destroyed forever after she learned that her husband had been executed along with hundreds of other Yazidi men whom ISIS called "infidels" and deserved to die for their faith.
The girl recalls that at some point she lost hope of ever finding freedom, so Siham tried to commit suicide several times. The last time she cut her wrist, the girl just wanted to end this horror, according to her at that time it was the only way to avoid endless torture.
According to Siham, ISIS militants have sold it seven times, always from the worst to the worst. On August 18, 2015, she was finally freed from the bondage of a terrorist group, but the terrible memories and the absence of loved ones are still like a wound that continues to bleed.
