Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nadia Murad met Pope Francis. She is Yazidi and originates from Iraq. She was kidnapped by the Islamic State and turned into a sex slave until she managed to escape. Today Nadia told her story to Pope Francis. She came with her husband.
“Because I don't speak fluently English, I need a translator.”
This is the second time they have met. The first time was in May 2017, at the end of a General Audience. Murad is a strong anti-human trafficking activist. She is a U.N. Goodwill ambassador and travels the world telling her story.
