Farida Khalaf
"Khalaf grew up in the village of Kocho in the mountains of Iraq. In 2014, when she was 18, ISIS invaded her village. The jihadists murdered all the men and boys of age in the village, including her father and eldest brother. Single women and girls, including Farida and her friend Evin, were forced onto a bus at gunpoint and brought to Raqqa, where they were sold into sexual slavery. She was once beaten so badly by her captors that she lost sight in one eye, and could not walk for two months. The young women managed to escape to a refugee camp in northern Iraq, and Khalaf was reunited with surviving family members. Among members of her community, however, she was seen as having brought dishonor to her family by having been raped. She subsequently moved to Germany, where she hopes to become a mathematics teacher. Her book, The Girl Who Beat ISIS, was published in 2016 to positive reviews. It was co-authored by German writer Andrea C. Hoffmann, and translated to English by Jamie Bulloch.

Samenvatting
Named a 'Best Book of the Year' by New York Post
'Farida Khalaf's story is harrowing but crucial'especially when it comes to understanding what ISIS actually is and does.' 'Glamour
'As gripping as it is appalling'a compelling testament to the suffering of ordinary people caught up in violence far beyond their control'and to the particularly terrible price it exacts from women.' 'The Guardian
A young Yazidi woman was living a normal, sheltered life in northern Iraq during the summer of 2014 when her entire world was upended: her village was attacked by ISIS. All of the men in her town were killed and the women were taken into slavery.
This is Farida Khalaf's story.
In unprecedented detail, Farida describes her world as it was'at nineteen, she was living at home with her brothers and parents, finishing her schooling and looking forward to becoming a math teacher'and the hell it became. Held in a slave market in Syria and sold into the homes of several ISIS soldiers, she stubbornly attempts resistance at every turn. Farida is ultimately brought to an ISIS training camp in the middle of the desert, where she plots an against-all-odds escape for herself and five other girls.
A riveting firsthand account of life in captivity and a courageous flight to freedom, this astonishing memoir is also Farida's way of bearing witness, and of ensuring that ISIS does not succeed in crushing her spirit. Her bravery, resilience, and hope in the face of unimaginable violence will fascinate and inspire.
