Nadia Murad has faced more in her 27 years than most will see in a lifetime. At just 19 years old, the ISIS attacked her village, killed 600 men including several of he family members, and then took her prisoner. There, she was abused, raped, beaten and managed to escape. For months, she was abused and used as a sex slave along with other women who were taken hostage. Because disgusting cowardly groups like ISIS use sexual violence and trafficking as a weapon of war, women are often too frightened to speak out.
But not Nadia. She said, “fuck it and fuck them!” She’s a Nobel Peace Prize winner and UNODC Goodwill Ambassador who started Nadia’s Initiative, a human rights organization that speaks out against trafficking, genocide, and sexual violence against women.
