New York Times foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi has exposed the horrifying network of sexual slavery built and run by terrorists from the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Reporting from Iraq and Syria, Callimachi, an award-winning journalist, detailed the ways in which women and children are systematically bought, sold, and used as a recruiting tool for the terrorist group.
Callimachi's groundbreaking reporting, which includes the first-person accounts of women who escaped sexual slavery and barbaric rape at the hands of ISIS fighters, was published on Thursday in the Times.
Callimachi spoke with Refinery29 from an undisclosed location inside Iraq.
