Ezidis Are Not a “Minority Within a Minority”

A published interview about Hawar, Our Banished Children describes Ezidis as “a minority within a minority,” reducing an ancient ethno-religious people to a subgroup of another identity.

Book Review: The Handmaid’s Tale

Fadya Bakr Qasim

In The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood imagines a society where women are stripped of rights and autonomy—a fiction that echoes the real suffering of many Ezidi women. 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.
