Rita Habeed, Christian woman from Qaraqosh, Nineveh Plain in the Iraqi Kurdistan, was kidnapped by ISIS on the 7th August 2014 when the jihadists took the control of the area. She lived as a slave for 4 long years.

“They did evil things to us, they were beating us everyday, sexual assaults, and trading us as items. They treated us as sexual objects,” she told us when we met her in Erbil after her liberation by the SDF forces in Syria.

When she was transferred to Raqqa, the capital of the Caliphate in Syria, she met many Yazidi women. They were all obliged to watch public executions, public torture and the beheadings of other women who were accuse of being spies.
