March 8th is International Women’s Day, a global day bringing attention to issues of gender equality, reproductive rights, violence and abuse against women. It is an especially important day for survivors of ISIL violence in Iraq. On March 8th, 2021, then President Barham Salih ratified the Yazidi Female Survivors Law that mandates several critical reparations for survivors of ISIL crimes from Yazidi, Christian, Turkmen and Shabak communities.
Former President of Iraq Dr. Barham Salih sat down with Jiyan Foundation for Human Rights on behalf of the Coalition for Just Reparations to discuss his motivation for drafting the initial bill, its implementation, and what it means for the future of survivors in Iraq.
