Ezidi Life Ten Years After the Genocide: A Look at Youth and Male Survivors
Many Ezidis remain unable to return to their homeland in Sinjar due to ongoing insecurity, political tensions, and the destruction left behind. Thousands continue to live in camps with limited access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Even those who have managed to return face immense hardships, with homes in ruins, infrastructure in poor condition, and economic instability making survival difficult. Justice remains elusive, as many perpetrators of the genocide are still free, and international attention has largely faded, leaving survivors feeling abandoned.

For three years, she endured relentless abuse, passed from one captor to another like a commodity. Yet, despite the horror, she never lost hope. After five failed escape attempts, she finally broke free, navigating landmine-ridden terrain to reach safety. Now, years later, she is not just a survivor—she is a voice for justice, determined to fight for those still in captivity.
