Wherever ISIL has seized control, women could not go out unless with______. [br]

Women and girls living in areas of Iraq and Syria mat have fallen under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, have been deliberately targeted for brutality by these militants, and have suffered terribly at their hands.(29)Wherever ISIL has seized control, it has imposed a strict code on women that includes confining women to their homes unless accompanied by a male relative, as well as the wearing of a black, full-coverage robe, face veil and gloves. ISIL’s all-female militia unit has been formed to enforce these requirements on Iraqi and Syrian women.(30)But even worse, women have been arbitrarily murdered by shooting, torture, or stoning. Every day, women and children, especially those from minority communities, face the threat of being kidnapped. In fact, over the past two months, some 1,500 to 4,000 women and children, some as young as 12, have been kidnapped in Iraq by ISIL terrorists.
