In this July 28, 2016 picture 17-year-old Yazidi girl stands on the balcony of her home in Germany. After escaping the clutches of Islamic State, Yasmin, a Yazidi girl, was so traumatized by her captivity that she poured gasoline on herself and set it alight - hoping to render herself no longer desirable to the extremists.
