This week, to mark the ten year anniversary of the genocide against the Yezidis, 12 testimonies from female survivors of these atrocities were deposited in our collection.
What are the challenges facing Yezidi genocide survivors and internally displaced people living in the camps of northern Iraq today? How is Yezidi society changing? How do survivors feel about returning to their homes in Sinjar, the administration of the Iraqi government compensation scheme, and efforts to seek justice and accountability? And how are humanitarian organisations trying to help them meet these needs? Find out more from an expert panel as part of our Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series.
