It is a collection of survivor’s accounts stories of women who sailed through those turbulent times to tell their story. Further, the book is divided into three parts taking us through the course of events as and when they happened. It begins with a short analysis of the political scenario present in Iraq with reference to the Yazidi community, the Kurdish (minority) and the government, both during and after Saddam Hussein’s rule. Considered to be one of the first accounts of the genocidal attack unleased by Daesh against the Yazidi community in Iraq, With Ash on Their Faces: Yezidi Women and the Islamic State speaks volumes about the resilience of Yazidi women.
