At least 2,500 women and children have been imprisoned, sexually abused and sold for around $10 each by ISIS slavers

Investigative reports have emerged that Islamic Militants in Iraq have created slave markets which deals in trading, selling Christian women, children and captured female Yazidis.

This information was revealed by some United Nations investigators.

At least 2,500 women and children have been imprisoned, sexually abused and sold for around $10 each by ISIS slavers.

According to International Business Times, the markets in the al-Quds area of Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria have been used as a way of attracting new recruits to Islamic State.

It was gathered that women who were captured at the end of August managed to contact the UN, having kept hold of their mobile phones. They reported being subject to sexual assaults.

The UN study is based on claims made in 450 interviews with Iraqi witnesses to alleged war crimes.

UN high commissioner for human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein told the Daily Mail:

A 13-year-old Yazidi girl recounted her ordeal in the hands of ISIS militants after she was abducted from her village on August 3.

Other accounts detail how women were separated from their children and made to watch beheading videos.

Another Yazidi woman gave a chilling account of how she was given to 10 Islamic State men:

"We were sold for $10 or $12. Who could accept that behaviour? Can God accept that?" the woman told Euronews. "It's a shame to rape a woman, but when she is raped by 10 men… what is this? They are animals, they are not humans. Because of them I am afraid all the time."

She managed to flee her captors with the help of sympathetic local residents and sought safety in Mosul.

A 17-year-old woman who begged to remain anonymous said she was being held captive with 40 other Yazidi women by Islamic State fighters.

she told Italy's La Repubblica newspaper.

The newspaper was able to interview her by calling her on her mobile phone, after being given the number by her parents, who are in a refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The UN High Commission for Human Rights reported that trade in malak yumin – war booty – is at very high levels.
