The Islamic State Human Trafficking Circuit
Adeba Shaker is a 14 years-old and she is one of the few girls who was able to escape from ISIS. On August 2, she and all her family fled from her village to a nearby town, hoping to escape the Islamic State. But the day after she was seized with 72 other women and children. She used to live near Sinjar province. Adeba travelled through out northern Iraq on a sort of human trafficking route. She made about seven stops before she arrived at her final destination in Raabia. There she was supposed to be forced into marriage with a front line jihadist. She was intended to be a gift for them, but she was lucky enough to escape.
She was held captive for twenty days. During this period Adeba met many other women in her same condition. They were imprisoned in what used to be schools or police stations in different cities. Once they arrived in a place, ISIS militants would enter a room and choose three or four girls. When they were gone, nobody would see them again.
