News Center- The genocide committed against the Yazidi community by ISIS in 2014 will enter its 11th anniversary on August 3, 2025.

The Yazidi Free Women's Movement (Kurdish: Tevgera Azadiya Jinên Êzîdî-TAJÊ) has issued a press statement to mark the 11th anniversary of the genocide.

The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), the Iraqi government and the Turkish state continue to commit genocidal policies against the Yazidis, the movement said in the statement.

“As leader Apo says, ‘Such massacres and genocides in human history will never be forgotten. If they are forgotten, it means the conscience of humanity is damaged.’ As the Yazidi women, we will never forget this genocide and never let it be forgotten. We will never give up demanding justice or resisting,” said Suham Şengalî.

“As the Yazidi women, we have been waging a struggle for justice for 10 years and we will keep struggling until those responsible for the genocide are held accountable. Although 11 years have passed, the aftermath of thousands of Yazidi people, women and children remains unknown. This fermana spî (English: White Genocide) still continues. Those who continue this genocide are the KDP, the Iraqi government and the Turkish state. As Yazidi women, we will never forget the betrayal of the KDP against our community. The KDP uses all kinds of dirty methods to send rescued Yazidi women to European countries. The KDP still does not allow our people to return to their homeland.”

Suham Şengalî highlighted that the “Call for Peace and Democratic Society” of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan “is a response to the genocide” and called on the Yazidi people to unite in order to make their voice heard all around the world.

The movement will hold activities and events to commemorate those who were killed in the genocide.

The program of the movement is as follows:

July 8: A statement titled “I want to visit Abdullah Öcalan” will be issued.

July 20-21: A seminar will be held on the genocide.

July 24: A commemoration ceremony will be held

August 3: A march will be held by the TAJÊ and the Shengal Autonomous Administration.
