Australia Must Stop Treating the Ezidi Genocide as a Simple Terrorism Case

Australia recognised the ISIS genocide against the Ezidi people. But recognition is not enough. ISIS crimes against Ezidis must not be reduced to simple terrorism cases. They must be investigated and prosecuted as genocide, crimes against humanity, slavery, sexual violence, and war crimes.

Book Review: The Handmaid’s Tale

Fadya Bakr Qasim

Forced to lose their identities, endure sexual violence, and bear children under coercion, Ezidi women continue to survive, resist, and reclaim their voices. Atwood’s story reminds readers that literature can reflect reality, urging reflection, empathy, and action for those whose voices have been silenced.
