New York Times foreign correspondent, Rukmini Callimachi has investigated the Islamic State group's use of sexual slavery and the way it's targeted the Yazidi community in Iraq. In 2009 Ms Callimachi was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her in-depth investigation of the exploitation of impoverished children in West and Central Africa. Despite that experience there is, she tells Faye, a "level of darkness" in IS's treatment of women and children that she hasn't seen before.
