Nadia’s Initiative joins a coalition of over 50 local organizations, survivors, and families of the victims to hold an event in Sinjar commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Yazidi genocide

On August 3rd, the Yazidi community will come together in Sinjar to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the genocide carried out by ISIS. Yazidis are unified in this commemorative effort, and over the past several months, Nadia’s Initiative has joined a coalition of over 50 local organizations, survivors, families of the victims, community leaders, and activists to coordinate this important event.

The event will take place at the Yazidi Genocide Memorial, and members of the international community, including representatives from a variety of diplomatic missions, will also attend to stand in solidarity with the Yazidi community.

The “Commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the Yazidi Genocide” in Sinjar will be a tribute both to the victims of the genocide and the resilience of survivors. It will be a moment for remembrance and an opportunity to reaffirm our collective commitment to the pursuit of justice.

The event is a testament both to the importance of the occasion and the resolve of the Yazidi community. Together, the community will speak with a unified voice to remind the Iraqi government and the international community that there is much work left to be done to deliver justice to Yazidis.
