Women’s lawyers say they are considering going to UN bodies after the high court turned down their appeal

Five Yazidi women who say they were held as slaves by the notorious Australian terrorist Khaled Sharrouf have failed in a high court bid for compensation.

Lawyers for the women have told the Guardian they are now considering lodging a complaint with United Nations bodies focusing on “Australia’s duty to provide an effective remedy” for survivors of sexual violence and slavery.
