Beginning on August 3, 2014, the Islamic State attacked the Yazidi homeland of Sinjar, killing thousands and taking just as many captive, the young men forced to fight and the women sold for their bodies. Those that survived the attack fled Sinjar and though some have returned to start rebuilding tens of thousands remain displaced throughout northern Iraq. Located a few miles from the Iraqi-Turkish border, the Bajad Kandala camp is currently home to over 9,000 displaced Yazidis. These individuals and each of their testimonies are living proof of the 2014 genocide against the Yazidi people of Northern Iraq.
