Dilveen: How an 11 year-old girl escaped after being kidnapped by ISIS

Check out this CBC Docs production of "Dilveen: How an 11 year-old girl escaped after being kidnapped by ISIS." 

Dilveen is now living in Richmond Hill and we are working to raise awareness of how Canadians can support her and other Yazidi survivors of genocide.

Dilveen was 11 when ISIS raided her village, killed her father and stole her away. She was sold to a 65 year-old man, who planned to marry her - but she escaped. This is her remarkable story.
