The beliefs of the Yazidi community combine elements of several ancient Middle Eastern religions.
When ISIS swept across northern Iraq almost three years ago, it carried out massacres against the minority which the United Nations said qualified as genocide.
Most of the several hundred thousand members of the minority live in northern Iraq, mainly around Sinjar, a large town which anti-ISIS forces have now retaken but was largely destroyed.
In 2014, ISIS jihadists captured Yazidi women and turned them into sex slaves to be sold and exchanged across their self-proclaimed 'caliphate'.
Around 3,000 of them are believed to remain in captivity. A number of mass Yazidi graves were uncovered in 2015
