Militants
with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have enslaved and sexually
brutalized scores of women, selling them into marriage or giving them as gifts
to militant fighters, according to a new report.
Since
August, ISIS has captured hundreds, if not
thousands of Yezidi women and girls and taken them into sexual slavery as part
of an ethnic cleansing movement, the Amnesty International report says. The
Yezidis are a Kurdish ethnoreligious minority group that has been historically
oppressed by Sunni extremists.
Once
captive, many of the women are forced to convert to Islam and subjected to rape
and other forms of sexual abuse. “Many of those held as sexual slaves are
children — girls aged 14, 15 or even younger,” said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s
senior crisis-response adviser. “[ISIS ]
fighters are using rape as a weapon in attacks amounting to war crimes and
crimes against humanity.”
The report
also details how many of the captive women have been driven to suicide by their
abuse.
“The
physical and psychological toll of the horrifying sexual violence these women
have endured is catastrophic,” said Rovera. “Many of them have been tortured
and treated as chattel. Even those who have managed to escape remain deeply
traumatized.”
ISIS has
been mounting an ongoing siege of Yezidi communities in the Mount Sinjar
region in northern Iraq ,
though recent success by Kurdish forces has expelled ISIS
fighters from much of the region. During the siege, ISIS
came out publicly defending the enslavement of women.
