More About Nadia Murad<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Nadia Murad is a leading advocate for survivors of genocide and sexual violence. Her New York Times bestselling memoir, \u201cThe Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State,\u201d is a harrowing account of the genocide against the Yazidi ethno-religious minority in Iraq and Murad\u2019s imprisonment by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).<\/p>\n

Much of Murad\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

In 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 V\u00e1clav 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.<\/p>\n

In her capacity as a member of France\u2019s Gender Advisory Council, Murad advocated G7 member states to adopt legislation that protects and promotes women\u2019s rights. Murad worked with the German Mission to the United Nations to pass UN Security Council Resolution 2467, which expands the UN\u2019s 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\u2019esh\/ISIL (UNITAD).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
