The 20-year-old victim is one of thousands of girls subjected to a campaign of sexual violence waged by the fanatical group.
Zainab Bangura, the United Nation’s Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, said ISIS was responsible for “rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and other acts of extreme brutality”.
She described how the jihadi group would rampage through a village, executing the men and boys aged 14 or over.
The women and mothers would be separated from the younger girls, who are then stripped naked and tested to check if they are a virgin.
The vulnerable youngsters would then be examined to check their breast size and ranked on how pretty they are.
The unlucky ones would then be sent to Raqqa, the ISIS stronghold in the north of Syria.
The sickening brutalisation of Iraq and Syria's women – many from the persecuted Yazidi community – is "central" to the group's ideology, Ms Bangura argued.
The youngest, and those considered the ‘prettiest virgins’, fetch the highest prices, she said. » | Tom Batchelor | Tuesday, May 26, 2015
