Women and girls living in areas of Iraq and Syria that have fallen under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL,have been deliberately targeted for brutality by these militants, and have suffered terribly at their hands.Wherever ISIL has seized control, it has imposed a strict code on womenthat includes confining women to their homes unless accompanied by a male relative,as well as the wearing of a black, full-coverage robe, face veil and gloves.ISIL’s all-female militia unit, al-Khansaa Brigade, has been formed to enforce these requirements on Iraqi and Syrian women.But even worse, women have been arbitrarily murdered by shooting, torture, or stoning.Every day, women and children, especially those from minority communities, face the threat of being abducted.In fact, over the past two months, some 1,500 to 4,000 women and children, some as young as 12, have been abducted in Iraq by ISIL terrorists.As Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Catherine Russell wrote in a recent opinion piece,“While captive, these women and children have been tortured, raped, given to ISIL thugs as ‘brides,’or kept as sex slaves.Some have committed suicide to avoid sexual enslavement.Others have been forced to watch as ISIL beat their children to coerce the women into converting to Islam.Some have simply been executed. Hundreds of women and girls have been taken from Iraq to ISIL camps in Syria and never heard from again.”
在伊拉克和叙利亚那些被ISIL控制的地区，妇女和女孩遭到这些武装分子肆意野蛮的对待，她们受苦很多。不管ISIL控制哪些地方，该组织就会对妇女实施严格的要求，包括限制她们在家中，除非有男性亲属陪伴，还要穿着黑色覆盖全身的袍子，戴着面罩和手套。ISIL清一色男性民兵的al-Khansaa旅一直在伊拉克和叙利亚女性中实施这些要求。但更糟糕的是，妇女还被故意谋杀，被开枪打死、拷打或施以石刑。妇女和儿童每年都要受到绑架的威胁，尤其是那些来自少数族裔的妇女儿童。事实上，在过去两个月中，大约有1500到4000名妇女和儿童，有的年仅12岁，就在伊拉克被ISIL恐怖分子绑架。全球妇女问题巡回大使凯瑟琳・罗素最近在观点文章中写道，“一旦被捕，这些妇女和儿童都要被拷打，被ISIL当做‘新娘’送给暴徒，或是作为性奴。有的妇女和儿童已自杀以避免性奴役，还有的被迫眼睁睁地看着ISIL殴打自己的孩子，迫使这些妇女皈依伊斯兰教。有的还被处决掉，数百名妇女和女孩被从伊拉克带到ISIL在叙利亚的营地，或是从来没听说过的地方。”
