On 3rd of August 2014 the Islamic State invaded Sinjar and started to commit a Genocide against the Yazidis living there. Since then Basma and Sarah work with Wadi to help the survivors.

We published an interview with both in our Winter 2022-Newsletter and want to share it again with you.
They also spoke in another long interview about life on Mount Sinjar today and in the past.
Our message to everyone, is to amplify Yazidi voices and the messages of Yazidi people, to defend us, and to support our voices and the IDPs voices, who for 8 years now have been surviving in tiny containers that feel like tombs, in the freezing cold and in the boiling heat, 4 metres, 8 people, no privacy, no feeling of family, we are asking for themost basic of human rights to be respected, and till now nothing.
