As a result of the offensive and massacres that happened to Sinjar by the ISIS militants, many of the survivor women who have been enslaved by ISIS after their release have faced some psychological problems; we will work in all means to provide them essential therapies as well as to enable them for finding jobs to be independent financially”.
