(UN News Centre) – Five months after she first met with two girls from the Yazidi community who had been held by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the United Nations official dealing with sexual violence in conflict said after seeing them again today that they are “filled with hope for the future,” and that is “the greatest blow they could have dealt” to the terrorist group. “I am so proud of these girls, of their courage and strength,” Zainab Hawa Bangura, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, said after her reunion with the girls in Germany.
