I definitely agree that immediate action does need to be taken. The source country thing is hard because we need some sort of system to be able to work with the IDPs who do not have refugee status. How do we get them out to a place where they can get refugee status so that they can start the immigration process? That's a huge bottleneck for these people, especially the vulnerable who do not have men in their household who will do this stuff. Many of the women who have escaped from ISIS or been released somehow have come back, and they don't necessarily have a husband anymore. Their husband might still be in captivity, their children might still be in captivity, or they might just have their children with them, so they have no one to actually go through that process with them. Many of these families from the Sinjar area are uneducated so they don't necessarily even know how to start moving forward with that process. There's a lot of advocacy that needs to happen in-country to start helping them to be able to gain refuge in another country.
