The Yezidis have a unique religion and culture and are targeted for genocide by Daesh (ISIS). Please provide protection and humanitarian relief for Yezidis in Northern Iraq. Negotiate the release of female sex slaves enslaved by Daesh, males forced to serve in Daesh military. And negotiate the release of Yezidi political prisoners held by Kurdish authorities.
Why is this important?
There were 73 decrees to wipe out Yezidis through murder and forced conversion over the past 700 years, which led to the loss of 22 million Yezidis. Please help us to stem the tide of this 74th attempt to wipe out the Yezidis. Yezidis International works to raise consciousness about the Yezidi crisis in Northern Iraq. The Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County, California is also sponsoring an effort to raise consciousness about the plight of the Yezidis.
