FYF Lead Investigator Completes Legal Investigator Course

FYF’s lead investigator, Ms. Waheeda Omar, received her investigator’s certificate from the prestigious Institute for International Criminal Investigations in the Hague, Netherlands. The IICI is a renowned global center for international crime investigation training. Waheeda has been working with FYF’s justice team for several years now, and is currently co-managing the justice team in the field. She was successful in applying for a scholarship to IICI to attend the course, and is the only Yezidi from Iraq to complete this course (to our knowledge). It should be noted that Waheeda self-funded her trip. FYF congratulates Waheeda on her personal determination to continue learning and her success in this course. We applaud her dedication, commitment, and ability as she does her part in the pursuit of justice in the aftermath of the Yezidi Genocide.
