One 8-year-old was repeatedly sold and raped, while another girl set herself on fire to make herself less attractive to her jihadist captors.

These are only two of the more than 1,400 horror stories German doctor Jan Ilhan Kizilhan has heard first hand from Yazidi women and girls once enslaved by Islamic State jihadists in Iraq.

"They have been through hell," he said in an interview in Geneva, Switzerland.
