Ms Zainab Bangura
The Islamic states, known as the IsIs sell girls for a pack of cigarettes. Women captured as sex slaves by the Isis militant group are sold at markets for “as little as a packet of cigarettes. Zainab Bangura, the UN special representative on sexual violence, said she had been to Syria and Iraq in recent months and found a war “being fought on the bodies of women. Ms Bangura has previously spoken out about the horrific treatment of women captured by the Isis regime, stripped naked and shipped around the territories it controls “like cattle.
Zainab Bangura visited Iraq and Syriain April, and has since been working on an action plan to address the horrific sexual violence being waged by Isis fighters. Jihadists continued to run slave markets for girls abducted during fresh offensives, but there were no figures on the numbers enslaved by the fighters. Girls are sold for “as little as a pack of cigarettes” or for several hundred or thousand dollars. Some were taken, locked up in a room over 100 of them in a small house,stripped naked and washed.”They were then made to stand in front of agroup of men who decided “what you are worth.
