Upsurge of ISIS in Middle East and Miseries of Women and Children

Abstract

A proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have emerged in Middle
East since April 2013, as a result of socio-political uncertainties in this
region. It is also considered as one of the results of Iraq war's failure (2003)
and outcomes of unfinished “Arab Spring” drive. Although ISIS is the
regional phenomen, but the role of extra regional factors cannot be ignored,
especially the role of Western youth as central and paraphernalia command
of ISIS is eye catching. Compared to other regional and international
extremist groups, ISIS had the matchless capability to assemble male and
female individuals in violent activities in the Middle East for many reasons.
Even children were also openly employed in Iraq and Syria. Although, ISIS
has defeated in the second half of 2017; but it was left with lots of
miserable stories of brutality especially with reference to women and
children.
This research paper gives an analytical view of manipulation of women
and children in extremist activities of ISIS. Such activities are addressed by
probing the issues that motivated armed clusters to establish a political
annex and how such guerrilla groups affected the strategic outlook. The
agony of this constant violent movement in Middle East is the miserable
condition of the local women and children. On the other hand, ISIS schema
was an attractive paradise for the European youth generally and young girls
specifically. During war, women and children were the most dejected
victims especially in religious conflicts therefore study is mainly focused on
this very basic humanitarian aspect. Yet, inspite of the importance of reallife implications of this issue, the available literature on the topic is still
scarce therefore this research is based on few books, articles, rare print,
electronic and social media reports and sources.
