Thousands of Yazidis have been killed by the ISIL attacks against Yazidis and thousands more have been forced to migrate, especially since 2014. Other topics that the study focuses on include the changes that have happened in social and cultural structures of Yazidis interviewed in the post-migration period and the changes occurred in views towards Yazidi women by the society, in which they live, before and after immigration.
