Yazidi woman Fawzia Amin Sido gives an account to the UN of her capture aged ten by Islamic State, abuse, sale to Hamas fighter in Gaza, and recent freedom.

Content warning, CSA, violence, abuse.

Brave woman. May she find peace and support.

Doubt that the pro-palestine will be reading this, but in case there are:

Child sex slaves are being held in Gaza for the use of Hamas fighters

child sex slaves, no less.

It is very hard to grasp how anyone could ever attempt to rationalise or justify this.

openly sold or handed over into sexual slavery as "gifts" to IS members

It will never not be astonishing to me that a group claiming to be religious and righteous has sex slaves.

I read an article about her and what happened to her some time ago. It was beyond harrowing. I can't express how much respect I have for her strength, both in surviving what she went through, and now in speaking out about it.

Also: what's been done to her people: now that is literal genocide.

Yes. Speaking up about it is astonishingly brave.
