The 2014 genocide against the Yazidi community, perpetrated by ISIS, represents one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of the 21st century. This qualitative case study explores the lived experiences of Yazidi women, aged 25-40, who have resettled in Nebraska after surviving unspeakable atrocities, including mass killings, sexual enslavement, and forced displacement. Grounded in survivor narratives, this research examines the psychological, social, and cultural impacts of genocide on these women, highlighting their resilience and efforts to rebuild their lives while preserving their heritage. Utilizing in-depth interviews and storytelling methods, the study captures the unique perspectives of Yazidi women, emphasizing their coping mechanisms and strategies for adaptation in a new cultural and geographical context. The findings reveal profound trauma interwoven with resilience, as participants navigate the challenges of identity preservation, community rebuilding, and psychological recovery. The study also sheds light on the long-term effects of genocide, such as intergenerational trauma, and underscores the critical need for tailored support systems to address the specific needs of Yazidi survivors. This research contributes to the discourse on gender-based violence and post-genocide recovery by amplifying the voices of Yazidi women and challenging dominant narratives that often overlook or distort their experiences. Furthermore, the study offers practical implications for policymakers, educators, and humanitarian organizations in designing interventions that support survivors of genocide and other forms of systemic violence. By focusing on the Yazidi women's stories, this dissertation not only documents a dark chapter in modern history but also celebrates the enduring strength and resilience of a marginalized community striving to thrive amidst adversity.
