UN Envoy: Women and Girls Sold By Age By ISIS “Like Barrels of Petrol”

The stories coming out of ISIS strongholds continue to disgust people around the world. Indeed, the extremist view of Islam applied by these terrorists often seems hard to believe but, when a United Nation’s envoy releases such stories, there are credible sources for some of these incredible accounts. UN’s special envoy for sexual violence in conflict, Zainab Bangura has released a report that ISIS published ‘price list’ of captured Yazidi, Christian sex slaves for its fighters and customers. In addition, the group has reportedly executed 19 women for refusing to have sex with its fighters.

The envoy has found that “girls get peddled like barrels of petrol” and one can be bought by six different men. Some of these girls are only nine years old. The women executed were accused of refusing to “participate in the practice of sexual jihad.”

The document below contains a price list for women and children by age. The most valuable are the young nine year old girls. It reads in part:

The price for Yazidi or Christian women between the age of 40 – 50 is $43 (£27)
$75 (48) for 30 to 40-year-olds
$86 (£55) for 20 to 30-year-olds
$130 (£83) for ten to 20-year-olds
$172 (£110) for one to nine-year-olds
Customers are allowed to purchase only three items with the exception of customers from Turkey, Syria and the Gulf.
