17/07/2024

July 17, 2024 – On this International Criminal Justice Day, Hope Makers Organization for Woman (HMOW) calls attention to the ongoing plight of the Yezidi people and their relentless pursuit of justice. The Yezidi community continues to struggle in the aftermath of the genocide, seeking accountability for the atrocities committed against them. In a bid to understand and address the challenges faced by the Yezidi community, HMOW conducted a comprehensive survey earlier this year. This study examines the correlation between mental health and economic susceptibility among Yezidi returnees in Sinjar. Today, HMOW is proud to formally publish the findings of this crucial survey. The study underscores the urgent need for sustained support and justice for the Yezidi people, highlighting the significant impact of mental health on economic stability. HMOW remains committed to advocating for the rights of the Yezidi community and ensuring that the perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. The study was orchestrated in collaboration with Premiere Urgence Internationale as an integral component of our joint project, generously backed by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
