Vian Dakhil
Vian Dakhil Biography
Vian Dakhil is a current member of the Iraqi parliament. She is the only Yazidi Kurd in the Iraqi Parliament. Yazidis, who practice a pre-Islamic religion, are considered nonbelievers by ISIS and therefore worthy of kidnapping, enslavement, and execution.
Two days after learning that militants with the Islamic State had overrun a Yazidi town, Dakhil addressed the Iraqi parliament, pleading for help. The speech was unrehearsed and visceral. "An entire religion is being wiped off the face of the earth!" Dakhil screamed before collapsing in tears.
The speech went viral on YouTube and transformed Dakhil from a parliamentarian into a crusader, informing Iraqis of the massacre and alerting many more to the very existence of Yazidis. Her words eventually reached President Barack Obama, who referred to them in his decision to authorize U.S. military air strikes. Dakhil began traveling the world, appealing for support. A helicopter she was riding in crashed on August 12, on its way to deliver aid to Sinjar, and she still walks with a limp. This has become her life.
