On November 27, 2024, the Duchess of Edinburgh attended a special event at the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, organized by Farida Global—a non-profit organization supporting genocide survivors and victims of conflict and religious persecution. During the event, the Duchess viewed 'The Women Who Beat ISIS,' a traveling photo exhibition. She also met Awaz Abdi, a Yazidi woman who was held captive by ISIS.
The humanitarian organization Farida Global was founded by Farida Khalaf, a Yazidi activist and co-author of The Girl Who Beat ISIS. Farida Global is managed by survivors of the Yazidi genocide and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). The organization has been advocating for the rights of survivors since its founding, following their escape from ISIS captivity.
