English: The Yazidi genocide refers to a brutal campaign of violence and persecution targeted against the Yazidi religious minority in Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2014. ISIS militants carried out massacres, kidnappings, sexual violence, and forced conversions against the Yazidi community in the Sinjar region of northern Iraq.

Thousands of Yazidis were killed, and many more were abducted, particularly women and children, who were subjected to sexual slavery and forced into marriage or servitude. Yazidi men and boys were often executed, while women and girls endured horrific forms of abuse and exploitation.

The genocide prompted international outrage and efforts to rescue and support Yazidi survivors. It also led to calls for justice and accountability for those responsible for the atrocities. The Yazidi genocide stands as one of the darkest chapters in the recent history of Iraq, highlighting the vulnerability of religious and ethnic minorities in times of conflict.
