JUSTICE

FYF is currently one of only a few internationally recognized links between prosecuting bodies and Yezidi survivors. FYF compiles unique analyses of crime scenes and suspect dossiers, working closely with UN mechanisms (IIIM and UNITAD) and war crimes units in jurisdictions outside Iraq. FYF’s all-female team of lawyers and investigators integrate survivor-centered practices into all aspects of survivor interactions.

JUSTICE PRIORITIES

  • Improve the Yezidi community's access to justice and serve as an international leader in performing structural investigations into ISIS crimes against Yezidis, with a focus on female survivors of sexual violence
  • Identify individual perpetrators and play a role in advancing prosecutions in all jurisdictions in line with international best practice
  • Explore civil cases and all legal remedies to achieve restorative justice and advance compensation in civil suits

MEASURING IMPACT

FYF measures successful achievement of this goal by the number of structural crime scene investigations completed, number of suspect dossiers completed, and number of case files shared with law enforcement and UN mechanisms.
