Women Seeking Refuge from ISIS Find Safety and Healing through Creativity
On August 3 , 2014 , ISIS invaded Sinjar , Iraq . They separated Yezidi women from their husbands , who were shot and shoved into mass graves . The women were divided up by age and salability , and then carted off to slave markets in Mosul and Raqqa . There , they were sold into a cycle of rape , abuse , torture , and resale . Some of the youngest women — just barely teenagers — were raped multiple times over their first two days in captivity and dozens to even a hundred times since .
