Since then, as the Yazidi captives have been conscripted into sexual slavery, smugglers have managed to free 2,554 women and girls. A land mine exploded, and two Yazidi girls who were accompanying her were killed. "Neither the Iraqi government, nor the international charities or other countries are helping us to save the Yazidi girls," said al-Qaidi. "There are still thousands of women and kids in captivity but it's getting harder and harder to get them out." Thousands of Kurdish-speaking Yazidis were taken prisoner and thousands more were massacred when IS fighters overran their northern Iraqi villages in August 2014.
