(Sorani Kurdish: نادیە موراد باسی تەھا; Arabic: نادية مراد باسي طه; born 1993) is a German-based Yazidi-Iraqi human rights activist. She was kidnapped and held by the Islamic State for three months. In 2018, she and Denis Mukwege were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict." She is the first Iraqi to be awarded a Nobel prize.
Murad is the founder of Nadia's Initiative, an organization dedicated to "helping women and children victimized by genocide, mass atrocities, and human trafficking to heal and rebuild their lives and communities."
In this intimate memoir of survival, a former captive of ISIS tells her harrowing and ultimately inspiring story.
Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her eleven brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia was in high school and had dreams of becoming a history teacher and opening her own beauty salon.
On August 15th, 2014, when Nadia was just twenty-one years old, this life ended. ISIS militants massacred the people of her village, executing men old enough to fight and women too old to become sex slaves. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia and her two sisters were taken to Mosul, where they joined thousands of Yazidi girls in the ISIS slave trade.
Nadia would be sold three times, raped, beaten, and forced to convert to Islam in order to marry one of her captors. Finally, she managed a narrow escape through the streets of Mosul, finding shelter in the home of a Sunni Muslim family whose eldest son risked his life to smuggle her to the safety of a refugee camp. There, surrounded by bereaved and broken Yazidi families, Nadia decided to devote her life to bringing ISIS to justice.
As a farm girl in rural Iraq, Nadia could not have imagined she would one day address the United Nations or be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She had never been to Baghdad, or even seen an airplane. As a slave, she was told by her captors that Yazidis would be erased from the face of the earth, and there were times when she believed them.
Today, Nadia's story--as a witness to ISIS, a survivor of rape, a refugee, a Yazidi--has forced the world to pay attention to the ongoing genocide in Iraq. It is a call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community, and a family torn apart by war

強奸是一種戰爭武器。撕心裂肺的痛!一夜之間親曆母親、兄弟親友遭屠殺;比ISIS暴行更讓人心寒的,是同族和異族同時對你的冷漠和拋棄。Nadia終於得救瞭,但更多滿懷希望的人卻都死在瞭那裏。哭...
評分audiobook聽完。實在沒有力量再去翻來讀一遍瞭。敬佩Nadia勇敢發聲,把傷口一遍遍撕開暴露在大眾之前。因為宗教信仰而慘被滅族的雅茲迪人,僅剩的年輕女孩兒們被迫充當性奴,'依法'強暴。OMG~2014年啊!比起ISIS的殘酷,同胞的冷漠與齣賣更讓人心痛!

評分【藏書閣打卡】2020已讀007 2018年在颱灣旅行時買瞭竪版繁體本,結果讀不習慣,送人瞭。過瞭一年多纔鼓起勇氣讀英文版。讀前兩捲時很憤怒,無法想象就在無限接近於此時此刻的時候,世界上還有這麼邪惡殘忍、滅絕人性的事情在發生,還有人在因為宗教信仰而遭到種族滅絕和大規模、係統性的強奸。而且ISIS似乎以為拿捏準瞭淪為性奴的雅茲迪女孩的心理,篤定地認為她們被強奸後內心已經被毀滅,也不會再被自己的族群接受,對比來看Nadia和她的族群的作為打瞭他們一個響亮的耳光。另外,希望無私幫助瞭Nadia的那傢好心人不會因此被牽連。。。
評分在天色漸晚的摩蘇爾小鎮上,沒有一戶人傢點起燈盞,因為他們害怕美軍的飛機會把燈光當成ISIS據點而實施空襲……what a suffering life
