Summary
The conclusion reflects on the recent invasion of Mosul by the Islamic State organization and its terrible treatment of Yazidi women. I propose to use my theoretical feminist approach in order to understand such violence. I also reflect on the rise of a strong civil society movement and its repression by the Iraqi regime in the name of the “War on terror”. Finally, I summarize my proposition of a transborder feminist approach going beyond the following opposition: culture/economy, secular/islamist, local/global.
