Ein Tag voller Begegnungen, Austausch und wichtiger Gespräche.

Unser Verein Farida e.V. ist sehr dankbar, gestern dank der Einladung der Teil der Messe Fair Handeln gewesen zu sein. Farida war Teil eines Podiums, das sich mit Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Partnerschaft auseinandergesetzt hat. Dort las sie aus ihrem Buch, berührte viele Menschen mit ihrer Geschichte und ihrem Mut und sprach über die Arbeit unserer Organisation. Dabei wurde deutlich, wie wichtig diese Arbeit ist und was konkrete Unterstützung tatsächlich bewirken kann.

Ein zentrales Beispiel dafür ist das vom Farida e.V. geführte , das durch die Förderung der SEZ und des Staatsministeriums Baden-Württemberg ermöglicht wurde: ein geschützter Ort für die jesidische Community, mit Zugang zu mentaler Gesundheit und psychosozialer Unterstützung, Raum für das Leben und Feiern jesidischer Kultur sowie stärkenden Empowerment-Workshops.

Danke an alle, die vorbeigekommen sind, zugehört und sich mit Farida und unserem Team ausgetauscht haben. Es war wertvoll, Erfahrungen zu teilen, voneinander zu lernen und gemeinsam neue Impulse mitzunehmen.

Gemeinsam schaffen wir Aufmerksamkeit und unterstützen dort, wo es wirklich gebraucht wird.

At Farida Global Organization, we welcome the decision of the Court of Appeal in The Hague to uphold the conviction of Hasna A. on all counts in this landmark case concerning crimes committed against the Yazidi community.

This judgment is an important step toward justice and accountability. The Court upheld convictions related to participation in ISIS, preparatory and facilitative acts of terrorist crimes, the enslavement of a Yazidi woman as a crime against humanity, and leaving a minor child in a helpless situation under ISIS control. The sentence of nine years’ imprisonment sends a clear message: these crimes must not be forgotten, denied, or left without legal consequence.

This case is especially significant as it marks the first Dutch prosecution addressing crimes committed against the Yazidi community. It affirms what survivors have long known and courageously spoken about: that the enslavement, abuse, and dehumanization inflicted on Yazidi women and girls were part of a systematic and targeted attack.

We recognize with deep respect the strength and courage of the Yazidi survivor whose testimony was central to this case, as well as the many survivors whose voices continue to shape the path toward truth and justice. Their testimonies are not only evidence — they are acts of extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable suffering.

At the same time, this ruling is not the end. Thousands of Yazidi women and girls remain missing, and many survivors are still waiting for justice, recognition, reparations, and meaningful accountability.

Farida Global Organization reaffirms its commitment to standing with survivors, amplifying their voices, and advocating for justice that is survivor-centered, dignified, and complete.

Justice has moved forward today — but our collective responsibility is far from over.

اليوم اجتمعت الناجيات والنساء والفتيات في المساحة الآمنة للناجين للاحتفال بـ اليوم العالمي للمرأة في أجواء مليئة بالدفء والتضامن.

On International Women’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and leadership of women and girls around the world. From communities rebuilding after conflict to global movements for equality, women continue to shape a more just, peaceful, and inclusive future. Today and every day, we stand with women’s voices, rights, and leadership.

On International Women’s Day, we honor the strength of Yazidi women.

In 2014, thousands of Yazidi women and girls were taken from their homes and subjected to unimaginable violence under ISIS.

Their lives were shattered.
Families were separated.
Communities were torn apart.

But their story did not end there.

Yazidi women refused to be defined by the crimes committed against them.
They survived.
They rebuilt their lives.
And many continue to raise their voices for justice, dignity, and recognition.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we stand in solidarity with Yazidi women — honoring their resilience, their courage, and their determination to transform pain into strength.

Their story is not only a story of survival.

It is a story of strength, dignity, and the unbreakable spirit of women.

Today we honor Yazidi women. Today we stand with them.

Five Years of the Yazidi Survivors Law: Progress, Justice, and Continued Commitment

Five years ago, Iraq adopted the Yazidi [Female] Survivors Law (Law No. 8 of 2021)—a historic step recognizing the genocide committed by ISIS against the Yazidi community and the Christian , Shabak and Turkmen affected minorities.

The law created an important pathway for survivors to access reparations, compensation, healthcare, education, housing, and rehabilitation services. But laws alone are not enough. Survivors need support, guidance, and trusted institutions to help them access their rights.

Since the very beginning, Farida Global Organization has stood alongside survivors—supporting thousands of Yazidi survivors in navigating the registration and application processes to access reparations under the law.

Farida Global has also contributed to strengthening the implementation of the law by providing training and capacity-building for staff of the General Directorate for Survivors Affairs (GDSA) to ensure survivor-centered and trauma-informed case management.

Equally important, Farida Global continues to support the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) referral system, working in cooperation with GDSA and with the support of IOM Iraq to ensure survivors can access specialized psychosocial care.

Five years later, progress has been made—but the journey toward justice, recovery, and dignity continues.

At Farida Global, we remain committed to ensuring that the promise of this law becomes a real and lasting impact in the lives of survivors.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners and donors in helping us make this happen

Heute traf sich Frau Khawla Ali, Vertreterin der Farida Global Organization, gemeinsam mit einer Gruppe jesidischer Überlebender und Aktivist*innen mit S.E. , Staatssekretär für politische Koordinierung und Europa im Staatsministerium Baden-Württemberg, in Stuttgart.

Wir möchten Herrn Staatssekretär Hassler und seinem Team im Staatsministerium sowie Winfried Kretschmann, der und den Menschen von Baden-Württemberg unseren tiefen Dank aussprechen. Bereits im Jahr 2015 öffnete Baden-Württemberg als erstes Bundesland seine Türen für Überlebende des Völkermords an den Jesiden durch ein besonderes humanitäres Aufnahmeprogramm. Im Rahmen dieses historischen Sonderkontingents nahm das Land rund 1.100 besonders schutzbedürftige jesidische Frauen und Mädchen sowie deren Kinder aus dem Nordirak auf. Das Programm bot Überlebenden des IS-Genozids umfassende medizinische und psychologische Unterstützung sowie Integrationsmöglichkeiten.

Wir sind sehr dankbar für diese historische Initiative, die vielen jesidischen Frauen und Kindern die Möglichkeit gegeben hat, ihr Leben in Frieden und Würde neu aufzubauen an einem Ort, den sie heute ihr Zuhause nennen können.

Heute haben viele dieser Überlebenden die deutsche Sprache gelernt, eine Ausbildung abgeschlossen und sich erfolgreich in die deutsche Gesellschaft integriert. Viele von ihnen arbeiten inzwischen in unterschiedlichen Berufen in Baden-Württemberg und leisten wichtige Beiträge für ihre Gemeinschaften.

Wir danken S.E. Staatssekretär Hassler und seinem Team herzlich für ihre fortgesetzte Unterstützung sowohl für Überlebende, die in Deutschland ein neues Leben aufbauen, als auch für humanitäre Projekte zur Unterstützung der jesidischen Gemeinschaft im Irak.

Day 2 | Survivor Reflections from the Courtroom

Today, survivors gathered once again to follow the second day of the appeal hearing in the Hasna A. case, together, in safety and dignity.

What they shared speaks louder than any courtroom words:

“Today, I felt that justice was closer than before.”
“Seeing accountability with my own eyes gave me strength.”
“We were once powerless. Today, we are present, free, and watching justice unfold.”

For survivors, this was not only a legal process —
it was a moment of recognition, courage, and collective healing.

At Farida Global Organization, we believe justice must be accessible, understandable, and survivor-centered. That is why we continue to create safe spaces where survivors can follow, reflect, and participate in justice processes that concern them.

Donor Acknowledgement
This activity is made possible through the generous support of SEZ, with funding from the Government and State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg, within the framework of the partnership between the State of Baden-Württemberg and Northern Iraq, and implemented in coordination with local and international partners.

Justice takes time.
Survivors deserve presence, protection, and respect — every step of the way.
