A young Yazidi woman who survived trafficking and gang-rape by the Islamic State terrorists, has been appointed as a UN Ambassador.
Nadia Murad Basee Taha, the 23-year-old Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is the Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC.
Murad was captured in Iraq in 2014 and had been bought and sold several times by the militant group. She, however, managed to escape.
