Women survive ISIS

How does a woman survive life under ISIS? How does she cope with a patriarchal system that has elevated male norms and values over female ones?

Iraq correspondent Judit Neurink spoke to women who lived for three years in the ISIS state, before being liberated from the end of 2016 by the Iraqi army. She spoke to women who feared for their lives, and to those whose men joined the group.

In the long read ‘Women survive ISIS’, Neurink does not only record their stories, but also asks: what next? Will women get a new role in the damaged Iraqi society? How do women and men cope with the traumas after three years of ISIS occupation?

The longread is available as e-book on Amazon for the price of $ 4.99.
