Nadia Murad's remarks at the Inauguration of the Yazidi Genocide Memorial

Last month, Nadia Murad spoke at the Inauguration of the Yazidi Genocide Memorial in Solagh, Sinjar. The memorial was built by Nadia’s Initiative in partnership with the International Organization for Migration in Iraq and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, to remember the 2014 genocide. The memorial contains the so-called “Grave of the Mothers,” where Nadia’s own mother, along with tens of other older Yazidi women were murdered by ISIS nine years ago.

To learn more about the memorial and the opening, see Nadia’s press release.
