Internally Displaced Persons (IDP)

The term Internally Displaced Persons refers to people who experience displacement within their own nation. For example, when Yousafzai fled Mingora, Pakistan to Shangla, Pakistan she was an IDP.

ISIS

The term ISIS refers to the terrorist organization Islamic State, which is sometimes called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or Daesh. While this was founded in 1999, it rose to prominence in 2014 when its fighters began to try to establish a caliphate, or Islamic state or civilization, in Syria and Iraq.

This group is notorious for its brutal attacks on religious minorities and various other war crimes. In We Are Displaced, ISIS is discussed in Najla’s chapter, as she escaped an ISIS genocide of her Yazidi community in northern Iraq.
