About 1,200 Yazidi survivors have resettled in Canada , but many are still trying to reunite their families.

For many Yazidis , justice means prosecuting ISIS members for what they did in Syria and Iraq .

Only three of the nine ISIS women who have returned to Canada from Syria face any criminal charges.

Wafaa Bashar was kidnapped and sold at age 12 by ISIS in Raqqah , she says.

She has applied to join her family in Calgary , Canada , but Canada declines to comment on her case.

She says she has struggled to see a future for herself in Iraq , where ISIS is resurgent.

Thirty members of Samo ’s family are missing, although some may have turned up in mass graves.

Samo says ISIS members who have returned to Canada concern them.

“I think it will be a big problem for the Canadian government, because those people who helped ISIS , they were brainwashed over there,” Ali said.
