2,600 women and girls remain missing from captivity

Mayada, who escaped sexual slavery at age 14 after being held by ISIS, highlights the ongoing plight of 2,600 women and girls still missing. Families of the captives seek justice for the atrocities committed against the Yazidi community. Despite the defeat of ISIS in most territories, the group continues to operate in scattered areas. The United Nations and advocates emphasize the need for accountability, as only ten ISIS fighters have been convicted for crimes against Yazidis. Many Yazidi survivors, including Mayada and Rana, have resettled in Australia, where they work to support their community. Both women aspire to help others, with Mayada aiming to become a human rights lawyer and Rana pursuing a career in medicine.
