Report Launch | The Yazidi Genocide: Ten Years & Counting

Ten years since the start of the Yazidi Genocide, the Yazidi community in Iraq have never been so vulnerable. The Sinjar Agreement is no longer being implemented, and its original design was far from the needs and voices of the historic communities of Sinjar. Few options remain for the Yazidis to return home to Sinjar safely and sustainably. Political inaction and disempowerment of local institutions have left Yazidis with no voice or access to security and services. The risk of re-displacement is very high. The latest hate crimes are enforcing a new culture of fear and uncertainty for Yazidi IDPs and returnees. 

Please join the Wilson Center’s Middle East Program and the Zovighian Partnership for the launch of the report,“There is No Future in Sinjar Without Safety and Agency," the second in the two-part policy series detailing the critical challenges that require urgent and dedicated attention in the aftermath of the genocide and war crimes conducted by ISIS in Sinjar.
