Sarah Montague speaks to Yazidi rights activist Nadia Murad.
When extremists from
the so-called Islamic State entered Nadia's village, they killed all the
men: six of her brothers were murdered. She and hundreds of other
Yazidi women were taken captive and, in the months that followed, they
were passed from one group of men to another and gang-raped. She
managed to escape, but it is thought that thousands of women are still
being held captive. Nadia Murad was in London to highlight their plight. This video contains graphic descriptions which you may find distressing. If you or someone you know are feeling emotionally distressed, the following organisations offer advice and support. You can watch the interview in full on BBC World News and the BBC News Channel and in the UK on BBC iPlayer.
