Wednesday, August 3rd marked the 8th anniversary of the Yazidi Genocide. On this day, the so-called “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)” invaded Sinjar region.  Thousands of women and children were enslaved, raped, and sold or recruited as child soldiers. The men were mostly executed on the spot.

Marion Gentges, Baden-Württemberg’s Minister for Justice and Migration,

Christian Rischter, Special Advisor and head of UNITAD,

Alex Hug, head of ICMP Iraq Mission,

Michael Blume representative of State ministry of Baden-Württemberg.

Prof. Dr. dr Jan Ilhan Kizilhan, the head of the Institute for Transcultural Health Research, Saeed Qasim Sulaiman, founder, and director of The Women Who Beat ISIS exhibition, Marwan Babiri; Yazidi religious leader, Sana Alneamat, Yazidi Genocide survivor and Director of Women and Survivors Affairs at Farida Global Organization, Sipan Khalil, and other survivors from ISIS captivity had the chance to gather and mourn this day together.

We would like to thank all survivors for their courage and strength speaking up and calling for justice and accountability. Thank you all for your participation at our event and for standing with Yazidis during this sorrowful day. Your solidarity and care meant a lot to the Yazidi community.
