According to Yezidi Women’s Rights Report published in 2016, among 15 Yezidi-populated communities, 473 have been enrolled in the school, out of which 234 graduated from 9th grade, 122 received 12-year education, and 117 girls did not even receive 9-year education in violation of the law in 2013-2015.

“But this is not a complete picture,” says Boris Muraz, President of the Sinjar Yezidis Union NGO. “In our estimates, 50 percent of Yezidi women do not even get 9-year education.”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
