A Year in Review - Nadia's Initiative's 2021 Women's Empowerment Projects

Seven years have passed since Yazidi women experienced the worst crimes against humanity. Many lost their dreams, loved ones, and lives when ISIS invaded Sinjar, and Yazidi women are still suffering from psychological traumas and financial distress to this day.

Nadia’s Initiative is committed to strengthening and supporting the competencies and capabilities of women with tangible support and tailor-made solutions, which are key to restoring their agency. Nadia’s Initiative is comprehensively supporting Yazidi women in Northern Iraq by helping them rebuild their livelihoods and providing them with survivor-centric individual and collective interim reparations. Empowering women is vital to enacting sustainable, positive change in the Yazidi community.
