United Nations: A young Iraqi woman who survived rape and abuse as a sex slave of IS fighters has become a UN goodwill ambassador for dignity of survivors of human trafficking.
Nadia Murad Basee Taha, a 23-year-old Yazidi woman, on Friday called for justice for the victims of the jihadist group and argued that the 2014 attack on the Yazidis should be recognised as a genocide.
Murad was taken from her home village of Kocho near Iraq's northern town of Sinjar in August 2014 and brought to IS-controlled Mosul, where she was gang-raped, and bought and sold many times.
She will focus on raising awareness of the plight of victims of human trafficking.
