Update 4/23/19): The U.S. (i.e.Trump & naturally joined by Russia, China) threatened to veto a strong UN Security resolution (Nadia spoke in favor of original) providing health & monitoring services on sexual violence acts (e.g. rape) during conflict/war resulting in a weaker watered down version passing.
ISIL or ISIS forces called for the destruction of the entire Yazidi people. Nadia Murad Basee Taha (Like Malala Yousafzai 2014, Nadia is a Nobel Peace Prize co-recipient 2018) witnessed long bearded men, dressed in black, carrying weapons attack her village Kocho (Sinjar District); watched as they took children from their mothers; young girls being raped. Then killing the men, the elderly women as well as most of her family; making her a sex slave (Note: Estimated over 5000 women & female children taken by ISIS - saying Islamic law justifies the revival (of) slavery before the Hour (of Judgement Day). ISIS targeted the Yazidis (Yezidis) because of some shared beliefs with Zoroastrianism and other non-Islamic religions. Nadia, who once just wanted to go to school; do the family farming chores; raise sheep, after escaping in 2014 is now a spokesperson seeking to help Yazidis still scattered throughout the world in refugee camps, and to recover their historic homeland (Note: Like the Kurds they face resistance from Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq religious & political interests as each seeks to repress minority populations.)
Nadia to world leaders: "You are the ones who can bring hope or create suffering. You are the ones who decide if a girl like me from another part of the world can continue her simple life ... if beheadings, taking women as sex slaves, raping children do not move you - when will you move?"
