Farida Khalaf (born circa 1995) is the pen name[1] of a Yazidi woman who was abducted by ISIS in 2014 and sold into slavery.

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.

[3] The young women managed to escape to a refugee camp in northern Iraq, and Khalaf was reunited with surviving family members.

Khalaf subsequently moved to Germany, where she was granted asylum in 2015 and hoped to continue her studies to become a mathematics teacher.
