Yazidi leader Nadia Murad won the Nobel Peace Prize!! Dear Journalists who'll interview her: PLEASE DON'T ASK HER TO RECOUNT THE SAME HARROWING STORY OF HER CAPTIVITY BY ISIS. She told it again and again—at great expense to her—to get media attention. Stop it now, please. Please.

Journalists (and public!) should watch "On Her Shoulders"—a documentary about Murad and the Yazidi plight. Our demand that marginalized victims tell their story again and again and again, cry for cameras again and again and again, before we pay attention exacts a huge toll.

My heart sank when I saw her pic in news—she faces many threats from extremists. But good news instead! Ask her about the Yazidi plight, the remarkable efforts to restore what was so terribly broken, the diaspora... Please no more wringing tears out of these brave, strong women.
