#YPJ on August 3 during the operation Humanity & Security, freed from the #ISIS hands, Wafaa Ali Abbas, 18 years old Yazidi woman who was captured by #ISIS in her village Kocho in the Shengal region, she was only 9 years old at that time... 1/6
She and her sister were among the thousands of Yazidi girls kidnapped. “ISIS members took us first to Mosul, then we were transferred to Raqqa where we had been repeatedly raped, enslaved, and sold out in slave markets,” Waffa said. 2/6
“The first terrorist had enslaved me for 15 days before he sold me to another one. After a series of marriages, I got married to the seventh one when I arrived at the camp.” She said. 3/6
No need for us to insist on the importance of the operation happening now in the #alhol camp. For sure many other women and girls are forced to stay and enslaved. 4/6
Also, they are terrified to mention their ancient life, and their origins, like Waffa who said in the interview she made with the YPJ that she could not talk about being Yazidi, being too afraid to get beheaded. 5/6
We are happy the see another woman out of the terror of #ISIS but we never forget the thousands of girls and women missing, being brainwashed and enslaved every day. 6/6
