News Center- The Kurdistan Free Women's Movement (RJAK) has released a statement on the anniversary of the genocide committed against the Yazidi community by ISIS on August 3, 2014.

 “The liberation of Shengal by the YJŞ (Shengal Women’s Units) and the YBŞ (Shengal Resistance Units) has paved the way for the return of thousands of women to their home, the development of the self-government system and the emergence of a strong leadership of women in Shengal,” said the statement.
