        3/ Nadia Murad wants justice for the thousands of Yazidi women like her who were abducted by ISIS. “We hope to see at least one ISIS member who did this to one Yazidi woman be punished for the crimes they’ve committed against Yazidi women, and we hope to see them in court.”

        4/ Murad sometimes feels that her message is not being heard. “I feel like too much is going on in terms of women being victims… I feel like [sexual violence] is not new to people and it’s not going to be the last time. And people have become numb to this kind of news.”

        5/ Murad’s own mother was among dozens of older Yazidi women executed by ISIS. When asked what those women would think about her advocacy and her Nobel Peace prize, she says, “I feel like they will be proud.”

        BTW, I appreciate your using “recipient” instead of the common “winner”, for one does not “win” the Nobel Prize — that would imply a transparent and open competition.

        She's a REAL victim, not like Ford and the Hollywood psycho's who used their bodies to further their careers multiple times.

        As an Iranian immigrant who escaped toxic misogynist subjugating dominance of islamism in Iran, my heart breaks for these Yazidi girls. But alas, she most likely does not realize the Left is NOT HER FRIEND but her ENEMIES, as they've already made their bed w islamist devils.
