The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) holds an estimate of 3,000 women and girls as sex slaves, according to a recent statistic.
Speaking out about the practice, an ISIS defector in Syria, talks about how women are given as “gifts” to foreign fighters.
The man, whose identity has been hidden for security reasons, starts off by speaking about how “good” it felt to be a part of the ISIS, in the beginning.
He then goes on to explain how women, who are taken as captives, are treated inside ISIS centres.
The disturbing bit about “foreign fighters” raping these women is disclosed with graphic details.
He concludes by giving a message to all Arab men– Don’t ever come to Syria, he says.
