The UNITAD report suggests that many Ezidi boys and men have been sexually abused by IS terrorist. Oftentimes, these male victims are not able to fully disclose what they have been through and therefore, they have even worse access (than female victims) to the much needed medical and psychological support.
UNITAD-rapporten, även om rapporten inte är helt offentlig och endast delar av den har publicerats, antyder att många ezidiska pojkar och män har blivit sexuellt misshandlade av IS-terrorister.
Islamisterna har inte bara visat att de saknar de mest grundläggande värderingarna och intelligensen som skiljer människor från djur, utan de har också lyckats bevisa att de är sodomiter och har förlorat alla åttor för att kunna betraktas som människor.

The Yezidis, also known as Ezidis, are an ethnoreligious people predominantly residing in the Middle East, including Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Armenia. The Yezidis are a distinct and separate group with their own unique identity. In this article we explain the multifaceted reasons why the Yezidis should not be mixed with the different people who see themselves as “Kurdish”.
When IS attacked the Ezidis and when many were forced to seek refugee in the Sinjar mountains, some effort were made to support and assist them. According to Farhad, the distribution of assistance was perhaps not optimal but it was at least something, considering that they had just survived a genocidal attack(s). However, due to the war between Ukraine-Russia and the situation in Palestine-Israel, the Ezidi genocide and all issues related to the Ezidis have been forgotten. Farhad explains that “Our people continue to suffer, and the effects of the genocide are still ongoing”, yet the suffering of the Ezidis has been overshadowed by other global issues that are of bigger political interest for the global powers.
Hvorfor Ezidiernes identitet og anerkendelse skal justeres efter, hvad kurderne finder politisk passende for deres interesser. Dette viser faktisk, hvordan kurderne sigter mod en pan-kurdisk ideologi, hvor de forsøger at påstå alle minoriteter (både etniske og religiøse) for at have større territoriale krav mod Tyrkiet, Irak, Iran, Syrien og Armenien. Dette viser virkelig, hvordan den kurdiske identitet er kunstigt skabt og påvirket af kommunisme og nationalisme.

The Yezidis are an ethno-religious minority with the majority speaking Kurmanji, one of the main Kurdish dialects, according to researchers. Geographically, they are classified as a dispersed minority in demographic centres where population density is homogenous and concentrated. They are mainly located in contested areas across several residential clusters, notably in the Sinjar region (locally known as Shingal) and the Nineveh Plain, which falls administratively under the central government. This region includes the Shekhan district, along with numerous Yezidi villages and towns in the Tel Keppe district, as well as the cities of Ba’shiqa and Bahzani in Nineveh province. There are also smaller population clusters in the southern and western parts of Duhok province, which have been part of the Kurdistan region since 1991, including towns and cities such as Sharya, Khanke, Ba’adre, and Derabun.

Несмотря на очевидные доказательства, усилия по привлечению виновных к ответственности оказались недостаточными.
