Widads Geschichte: Widerstandsfähigkeit, Heilung und die Kraft von Bildung

Als Widad gerade einmal 13 Jahre alt war, floh sie mit ihrer Familie unter Beschuss aus ihrer Heimatstadt Sinuni (einem Unterbezirk von Sindschar) und schloss sich Tausenden von Jesidinnen und Jesiden an, die während des Völkermords 2014 aus ihren Häusern vertrieben worden waren.
