Rooba, 28 years-old, illiterate. Date of Capture: 15/08/2014. Length of captivity: 10 months . We were in Tal Afar for two months then they brought us to Raqqa in Syria. There were about three hundred of us girls there, in a big hall. All the women had babies who cried because they were so hungry. The children were only given one egg a day. The first night nine girls tried to flee. They tied their clothes together to make a rope and lowered themselves out of the window, but the ISIS fighters found them and brought them back. They hit all of us because we didn’t tell them about their escape. They put us all in a big room, locked the door and didn’t give us any water. Then one day they brought us to another building. On the front was written something like “area for selling” and there I was sold to a forty year-old man from Saudi Arabia. He asked me to marry him and when I refused he pointed to three objects sitting on his table—a knife, a gun, and rope. He said he’d use all three if I didn’t say yes. I refused over and over again, so he beat me. He beat my niece, who is only 3 years-old. I was sold again, this time to a single man who wanted to marry me. I refused with all my might and again was beaten, and again they beat my little niece. He tried to rape me and when he couldn’t he sold me again... © Seivan M. Salim/Metrography
