"The terrorists didn't think that Yazidi girls would have the courage to tell the world every detail ..." — Nadia Murad

I lived my childhood as a village girl in Kojo, south of Sinjar region. I did not know anything about the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have the responsibility to translate peace and stability for future generations.

We must not only imagine a better future for women, children, and persecuted minorities; we must work consistently to make it happen - prioritizing humanity, not war.

I think there was a reason God helped me escape... and I don't take my freedom for granted.
