Ensuring Survivor-Centered Implementation of the Yazidi Survivors Law

"When the online application opened, I tried to fill in my information, but there were some segments that I didn’tunderstand. After participating in Nadia’s Initiative’s workshop, everything became easier for us. Many of us started applying for reparations after the session." - Iman Ido

Nadia’s Initiative is working as a bridge between survivors and the General Directorate of Survivors Affairs (GDSA) in Iraq to ensure survivor-centered implementation of the Yazidi Survivors Law. To do so, NI has conducted workshops with hundreds of survivors in the region, as well as extensive training of the GDSA Sinjar’s staff on survivor-centered reparations, trauma-informed approaches to interacting with survivors, and the Murad Code.
