Noor* is 22. She was kidnapped by ISIS last summer, from Kojo in Northern Iraq. She was held captive for several months, suffering daily rape and horrific torture. Incredibly, she managed to escape and today, she is desperate to share her experiences and to raise awareness about the ongoing suffering among those who have escaped.

Here, she tells Stylist.co.uk her story:

Just imagine for a moment that you wake up one morning and watch as all the men in your family are taken away. A few hours later you hear the sounds of machine guns and screams.

Then imagine your terror as you, your grandmother, your mum, your sisters and your aunties, are herded on buses and driven away by the same people who took the men.

Imagine then being sold at a slave market a few days later along with your little sister to a man old enough to be your grandfather, who is fat and ugly and stinks of body odour.

Finally imagine being raped by this man every day from then on, and when he’s bored with you, being turned over to his six guards to use as their plaything, to be gang raped after they’ve got themselves excited watching pornographic DVDs.

It sounds like the worst nightmare any girl could have, but for me this was reality. This was my life just a few short months ago.

I lived with this horror for many long months until I managed to escape. I was determined then to tell anyone who would listen what happened to me and thousands of other women and girls - some as young as nine.
