'Sun Ladies': Army of sex slaves declare war on IS terrorists who raped them
When the newborn cried out in hunger, he was brutally beheaded in front of his mother.
A powerful battalion of former sex slaves who escaped the gruesome torment of Islamic State militants have declared a war on those who raped them, according to a report in the Mirror.
These women have suffered horrendous atrocities, molestation, brutal rapes and torture, said the report.
Horrifying tales
One of the rape survivors, while recalling her barbaric encounter with ISIS, revealed how the militants raped and impregnated her. She was being held as a sex slave during her pregnancy and was later forced to stay away from her newborn. She was not allowed to see her baby and even feed him. When the newborn cried out of hunger, he was brutally beheaded in front of her.
After escaping from their captors, these women, driven by the crave for revenge, formed their own 'Sun Ladies' army that aims to fight ISIS.
Many of these women have seen their families massacred in front of them. In retaliation, their army is now undergoing extensive training to attack IS caliphate in Mosul where they were held as sex slaves and were often sold off to militants. While most of them fell prey to these militants, some of them died of heat strokes and hunger.
Recent report by United Nations reveals that around 3,500 people are still held captive by ISIS, majority of them being girls who are subjected to brutality.
Forced to covert to Islam
Those women who were too old to be sold as sex slaves were often killed by the militants. Girls as young as eight were forced into marriages by jihadists and later raped and sold to others in exchange for few dollars.
United Nations have repeatedly condemned sexual attacks on Yazidi women, but have rarely taken any action against IS.
Women captured by Islamic State are mostly sold to buyers from the Middle East who often force them to convert to Islam, before marrying and raping them.
The sexual abuse testimonies of several women come in the wake of the recent incident when Nadia Murad Basee, an Iraqi Yazidi, who escaped from the clutches of ISIS fighters, revealed the torture she had to go through when she was kidnapped.
Speaking about her ordeal at Egypt’s Cairo University last November, Nadia said militants “used to force captives to pray and then rape us. They did what a mind could not imagine.”
She also said that these sex slaves were sold multiple times to various fighters.
