“We, the women and children, were taken by bus from the school to another area. They humiliated us along the way and touched us in a shameful way.”[1]

 Watch Nadia’s story here and sign this petition calling for slavery in Iraq to be referred to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

 This month marks two years since the start of the ruthless attack on the Yazidi population in Iraq by ISIS forces. Nadia Murad survived the massacre and mass enslavement. Now, she is determined that the perpetrators be brought to justice. With immense courage, she has been publicly sharing her personal experience – and has even spoken at the UN Security Council. 

 Watch Nadia tell her harrowing account here and support the petition asking for justice on her behalf and others like her.

 The UN Security Council has the power to refer the crimes perpetrated against the Yazidi population to the ICC. In Nadia’s words: “this is not just about my suffering; it is about collective suffering…even men who agreed to become Muslims out of fear for their lives, were killed, their women enslaved and their children recruited.” This is why we are asking the UN to help bring justice to the thousands of victims of modern slavery in Iraq. Watch Nadia tell her story and sign the petition.

 In hope and remembrance,
