Face to Face With Former ISIS Sex Slaves: Stacey Dooley Investigates

Istanbul now has more refugees from neighbouring war-torn Syria than the EU. War and sex slavery go hand in hand, with many young Syrian girls and mothers forced to sell their bodies to make ends meet. Stacey makes the journey from Istanbul to Gaziantep, close to the border between Turkey and Syria, where several hundred Islamic State (IS) fighters are believed to live in hiding. Here, she meets a young woman who was sold into sex slavery by IS fighters. Covered from head to toe in black, she desperately wants to share her story, but is so traumatised that she cannot stop crying.
