A 15-year-old girl who escaped Islamic State (IS) captivity has shared her terrifying experience narrating how IS militants sell girls within themselves.

She said "It was very bad, especially for girls. They forced girls to marry them."

She also described how they wanted to convert people's religion.

"IS wanted to change our religion, they captured women and kids and wanted to change their religion", said the 15-year-old.

The teenager narrated how even after escaping the militant custody, she was not happy.

"I ran away but I'm not very happy, I'm always thinking of my friends and what I can do to get them back", said the girl.

She added "I'm asking people and NGOs working for human rights to help the girls who are trapped with the ISIS".

IS militants, who are being targeted by U.S. led coalition airstrikes, have taken over large swathes of Iraq and Syria in the recent months.
