The Women of the Caliphate: Slaves, mothers and jihadi brides

2.5/5 ( ratings)

Women and the caliphate: it is a complex relationship. ISIS is keeping thousands of Yazidi women as sex slaves and treats them like animals. Western women have been recruited to give birth to the next generation of fighters. Some of them volunteer to work with a special police force that checks if women are abiding by the strict rules – acting no less brutal than the ISIS men. All these women play a role in the history now being written in Iraq and Syria.
In The women of the Caliphate, Judit Neurink gives a voice to Yazidi women who escaped from the caliphate and bear witness to the brutal treatment they received there. She tells the story of the American aid worker Kayla Mueller who was the slave and even wife of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. She phones women in the occupied city of Mosul and analyses the rights that ISIS propaganda is giving to women. Thus, a clear image is drawn of the black reality of the caliphate.
Judit Neurink is a Dutch journalist living in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq since 2008. She reports for Dutch, Belgian and international media. The women of the Caliphate is her sixth book.
