Yazidi teenager sets herself on fire in bid to avoid rape by ISIS soldiers

A Yazidi girl who was repeatedly raped by ISIS fighters set herself on fire to make herself unattractive to the men.
The teenager, who asked to be identified only as Yasmin, had escaped Isis captivity and was in a refugee camp in Iraq when she thought she heard Isis soldiers’ voices outside her tent.

She said she doused herself in petrol and set her body alight in a deliberate attempt to disfigure herself. The flames burned her hair and face, also badly damaging her nose, lips and ears.

The 18-year-old is one of 1,100 refugee women and girls who have been brought from refugee camps in the Middle East to south western Germany for specialist psychological treatment.
