Incredibly brave and inspiring.

The Yazidi women, who call themselves the ‘Force of the Sun Ladies’, are preparing for an offensive on the ISIS stronghold of Mosul, where many were exchanged by militants as their sex slaves.

Capt Khatoon Khider, a member of the Sun Ladies, told Fox News: “Whenever a war wages, our women end up as the victims.

“Now we are defending ourselves from the evil. We are defending all the minorities in the region. We will do whatever is asked of us.”

Although 2,000 Yazidi men and women have managed to escape captors, the United Nations estimate that ISIS still has 3,500 people captured in Iraq, the majority of whom of women and girls from the Yazidi community.
