Much of the Ottoman persecution sought to convert the Yazidis to [[Islam]]. This was also a goal of Kurdish persecution, as well as to assimilate them culturally through [[Kurdification]]. Ottoman and Kurdish persecution of Yazidis was at its worst during the 19th century.
In the 21st century, Yazidis faced violence from Islamists during the [[Iraq War]], including the [[April 2007 Mosul massacre]], and the [[2007 Yazidi communities bombings]] which killed 796. [[Kurdistan Regional Government]] (KRG) attempts to extend its influence have also caused tension, prompting renewed accusations of Kurdification.<ref>https://ift.tt/30YyTem>
The [[genocide of Yazidis by ISIL]], which began with the 2014 [[Sinjar massacre]], led to the expulsion, flight and effective exile of the Yazidis from their ancestral lands in [[Sinjar]]. Thousands of Yazidi women and girls were forced into sexual slavery by the [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]], and thousands of Yazidi men were killed.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Five thousand Yazidi civilians were killed<ref name=plosmedicine/> during what has been called a "[[forced conversion]] campaign"<ref name="CSM">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref name=TT20140824/> being carried out by ISIL in Northern Iraq.
