Original Note:
While "sabaya" (سبايا) can be used to mean "captive woman”, it is commonly utilized and understood in the context of sexual slavery. Civilian Yazidi women & girls taken captive by ISIS were sold into sexual slavery in "souk sabaya" (slave markets). https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/CoISyria/A_HRC_32_CRP.2_en.pdf https://www.iir.cz/institutionalization-of-sexual-slavery-within-the-isis-territory#:~:text=All%20those%20women%20in%20captivity%20are%20called%20%E2%80%9Csabaya%E2%80%9D%20which%20means%20a%20slave https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/26/world/middleeast/sabaya-isis.html https://x.com/zidan_yezidi/status/1686753756442923008 https://www.kunc.org/arts-life/2021-08-07/documentary-sabaya-is-a-real-life-thriller#:~:text=Sabaya%2C%20means%20%E2%80%9Csex%20slave%E2%80%9D%20in%20Kurdish
