They are among around 2,000 captives who have escaped their terrorist tormentors who subjected them to horrific torture and rape and massacred thousands of their loved ones after storming their villages in the summer of 2014.
Now, driven by a collective desire for vengeance, the battalion is preparing for an offensive on the [Daesh] stronghold of Mosul where extremists sold many of them into slavery and rape.
Capt Khatoon Khider, a member of the Sun Ladies, told media: 'Whenever a war wages, our women end up as the victims. 'Now we are defending ourselves from the evil. We are defending all the minorities in the region. We will do whatever is asked of us.'
