Her New York Times bestselling memoir\, “The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity\, and My Fight Against the Islamic State\,” is a harrowing account of the genocide against the Yazidi ethno-religious minority in Iraq and Murad’s imprisonment by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS). \nMuch of Murad’s advocacy work is focused on meeting with global leaders to raise awareness of the genocide against the Yazidi people and the systemic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. \nIn 2016\, Murad became the first UN Office of Drugs and Crime Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking. That year\, she was also awarded the Council of Europe Václav Havel Award for Human Rights and Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. In 2018\, she won the Nobel Peace Prize with Dr. Denis Mukwege. Together\, they founded the Global Survivors Fund. In 2019\, Murad was appointed as a UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate. \nIn her capacity as a member of France’s Gender Advisory Council\, Murad advocated G7 member states to adopt legislation that protects and promotes women’s rights. Murad worked with the German Mission to the United Nations to pass UN Security Council Resolution 2467\, which expands the UN’s commitments to end sexual violence in conflict. Murad was also a driving force behind the drafting and passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2379\, which established the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/ISIL (UNITAD).
