(Interpretation)
My name is Adiba. I am Yazidi.
In 2014 ISIL attacked the Yazidis and killed the Yazidi people. They took the women. They raped the young women. They hit the kids. They killed our brothers, our men. They took my own family: my sisters, my brother and the families of my maternal uncle and paternal uncle.
I grabbed the hands of my cousins and my brother, but until now we didn't know what happened to them. For years, we knew nothing about them.
Three thousand Yazidi girls were captured by ISIL members, and we know nothing about them to date. They get raped and beaten, and they get subjected to various forms of torture.
For me, it's been a year and a half in this country. It was very difficult for me to get into Canada, and even here in Canada my life has been very tough. They put us in a hotel. I don't know how to speak the language, the place is new for me and I don't know where to go. Everything has been so challenging for me.
I do thank the Canadian government for bringing us here, but I have not seen any services from the Canadian government yet, and no help when it comes to psychological assistance. All our requests.... We asked the Canadian government to help bring our families here, to bring more Yazidis here, and to send aid to the Yazidis in the camps. It's been a year that I have been working for One Free World International. We need to bring our families here. We are asking this of the government, and we have heard nothing about this demand.
I would like the government to bring in more Yazidis, and our parents too, and our families.
