Youth for "HOPE"- Healing Opportunity for Peace and Empowerment

In 2014, ISIS launched a genocidal campaign against Yezidis, killing men and enslaving women and children. Yezidi youth have been exposed to multiple atrocities, remain displaced, have little or no income, and are severely traumatized. They live in camps with limited access to education, mental health services or opportunities. Hopelessness and absence of safe spaces have led to rising suicide rates. Yezidis have lived in insulated communities, with limited interaction with the outside world.
