Title: Legacy of Terror: The Plight of #Yezidi# Child Survivors of #ISIS#
Place of publication: U.K
Publisher: Amnesty International
Release date:2020

The armed group calling itself the Islamic State (#IS# ) committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and what the UN has characterized as genocide against the Yezidi community in Iraq. While thousands of children were killed or abducted, hundreds have survived and returned to their families in Iraq. These child survivors now face significant challenges. Their physical health is often severely compromised; many experience mental health conditions; they sometimes cannot speak or even understand the dialect of Kurdish spoken by their families; and many are unable to re-enrol in school after missing several years.[1]
