In many of its write-ups, Norvergence has fearlessly analyzed and covered the dark pages of civil war and terrorism. When the Syrian conflict was at its extreme stage, Iraq was a major hub for ISIS terrorists to carry forward their barbaric operations. Hundreds of Yazidi girls and women were kidnapped and taken to Mosul to be sold there. One of them was Ashraq Haji Hamid, and then a 14-year-old girl sold on for $100 dollars as a sex slave. After 5 years, she confronts the terrorist, Abu Hamam, who brought her and raped her several times, on live TV.

She asked (Norvergence quotes): “Abu Humam, look up. Why did you do this to me? Why? Because I’m Yazidi? I was 14 years old when you raped me. Look up. Do you have feelings? Do you have honor? Do you have a sister? Do you have feelings? Do you have any honor? I was 14-years-old. The age of your daughter! The age of your son! The age of your sister! You’ve destroyed my life. You took everything from me. Everything I dreamed of.

But now you know what torture is, what it’s like to be tortured, what loneliness is. If you had any sense, any feelings, you wouldn’t have raped me when I was 14-years-old. I was the age of your son, the age of your daughter.”

Ms. Hamid has fled to Germany in 2015 to start a new life there. One day, Abu Hamid who was also living in Germany stopped her in the street of Stuttgart and told her that he knew where she has been living in the past few years. Ms.Hamid returned to Iraq to escape from Abu Hamam.

Later, Hamam also returned to Iraq where he was arrested by Iraqi officials. She has given an interview to an Iraqi TV where she recounted the horror when she was under ISIS captive. Norvergence is quoting Ms.Hamid: “We were worried and didn’t know what would become of us, and whether we would be killed or not.

However, we took some comfort in being together — we would either live together or die together. But then they separated us from one another.” She was taken to Mosul with other women and girls. “Abu Humam selected me and then he pulled me by the hair. I did not expect them to rape us, because I was only 14. But they restrained us with iron handcuffs and violently raped us. They raped us one after the other.

He kept promising me that he would let me go, but then he would rape me three times a day and beat me three or four times a day. I was just a child and didn’t know anything. I tried to fight him and push him away when he was trying [to rape me]. Not a day passed without him beating me three or four times.”
