We believe Heather Heyer's war is our war and that the fight against fascism is a global battle. So we call on women worldwide to unite against fascism and end terrorist groups like Daesh and those made of the same rags that kill women like Heather”.

The entity's eight members have sisters, cousins and friends still suffering from Isis. No contact for years with them, they have no idea where their missing relatives are, or if they're still alive.

“Das are monstra”, Darsim says. “has become 73 separate Yazidis massacres. We're trying to protect our people and we want revenge”.

Syria's complex civil war, now in the seventh year, is different from any other modern conflict. Almost 500,000 people have been killed, half the pre-war population of 22 million have fled their homes, and its full consequences have not yet been disclosed.

Yazid women are probably the most persecuted of all those who have suffered in this war.

Violence committed against the Yazidi people a minority population whose beliefs combine elements of Islam, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism constitute genocide.

Most of Yazid and Arab recruits, liberated by jihadists, were eager to join the Kurds in the fight against Isis '%s'.

Either way, life is very different for YJS now.

If we as women were armed and protected first, perhaps the massacres against us would not have occurred”, Ayidza said.

“We have witnessed to the entire world that we can now defend ourselves”, she says./Periscopi/
