Nobel Peace Prize recipient Nadia Murad says she has learned once again to have hope in humanity. . . In 2014, ISIS attacked Nadia’s village in Sinjar, Iraq and killed hundreds of Yazidis. Many women, including Nadia, were beaten, raped, and held prisoner. Nadia ultimately escaped and has since become an advocate for Yazidi genocide survivors and sexual assault victims. . . She also launched Nadia’s Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding Yazidi communities. . . In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Nadia’s Initiative appealed for emergency assistance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Sinjar. Her supporters responded and, with their help, Nadia was able to send health care supplies to hospitals and distribute food and sanitation supplies to families living under quarantine. . . Nadia joined our stage in 2016. You can watch her full interview via video link in bio by searching Nadia Murad. 🎥 . . 📸: US Department of State
