Today, nearly 11 years later, many policy changes in host countries have left the Yazidis devastated, as they see the door to asylum closing.

They now live in fear of another attack, especially with hate speech already resurfacing in the Sinjar area.

We stepped out in faith and made a very recent trip to help the Yazidis who are holding on to false hope that their applications will be processed soon-unaware that major policy changes may affect their chances. We  met  with about 122 Yazidi families and assessed how those who have not been processed yet can meet the new criteria for asylum.
