How ISIS lures and enslaves women
Listen 00:48:44Guests: Mia Bloom and Rukmini Callimachi
A shocking and disturbing story in the New York Times last week explained how ISIS, through theology, justifies the rape and sex slavery of women under its control. It was written by our guest foreign correspondent RUKMINI CALLIMACHI who interviewed 21 Yazidi women who had been kidnapped by ISIS and later escaped. Callimachi joins us in this hour of Radio Times along with Georgia State University professor MIA BLOOM who has written extensively on how ISIS and other terrorist groups lures and enslave women recruits.
