The women of IS: Part three

What do developments in the Middle East mean for those in Syrian detention camps?

What next for the Syrian detention camps and their residents? After the fall of the so-called 鈥渃aliphate鈥, tens of thousands of women and children from around the world - followers of the Islamic State group as well as its victims - ended up in a handful of camps in north-eastern Syria. Once run by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, those camps are now in the process of being closed down by the Syrian authorities. This series explores the trauma that led to the prolonged existence of the camps and what the future might hold for their residents.

In part three, we discuss justice and rehabilitation, as well as where the latest dramatic events leave the story.
