On 3rd August 2014, the (so-called) Islamic State (also known as Daesh) attacked the Ezidis (Yazidis), an ethnic and religious community in Nineveh Province, Northern Iraq. The assault resulted in IS gaining full control of the Shingal (Sinjar) region, the home of 360,000 Ezidis, and partial control of the Nineveh plain, an area that is home to 200,000 Ezidis. IS then attempted to wipe out the Ezidi community through a policy of genocide, forced conversion, enslavement and the use of rape as a weapon of war.
In the attempted genocide ISIS murdered more than 3,000 Ezidis; sold 5,000 Ezidi women and children into sexual slavery; and caused the displacement of more than 90% of the Ezidi population in Iraq, forced to flee to Iraqi Kurdistan and across the mountains into Turkey.
