On the 13 February 2015 edition of NBC Nightly News, Richard Engel zeroed in on an ISIS atrocity that hasn't gotten enough media attention – the terrorist group's sexual atrocities against women of Iraqi minority groups, especially the Yazidis. Engel interviewed two Yazidi women who escaped from their Islamist captors, and spotlighted that "ISIS is reviving the barbaric tradition of the slave trade." The correspondent later gave a rather blunt description of the group's atrocities: "There's a word we don't use a lot in the news media, but it fits here. This is evil. It was absolute evil by design. This was not a war crime that happened by accident. This is ISIS policy."
