Girls choose death over fear of rape

Captured Yazidi girls in Iraq are killing themselves to escape rape and torture at the hands of Isis (Islamic State) militants holding them prisoner.
Hundreds of women and children were captured during the group's bloody sweep through northern Iraq this year and have since been trafficked as sex slaves, forced into marriage and imprisoned. Victims who managed to escape told Amnesty International that many Yazidi girls killed themselves after losing hope of being saved.
