The opening as it read in 2020
Quasi-state -level Islamist groups, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , have captured and enslaved women and children, often for sexual slavery . In 2014, both groups were reported to have kidnapped large numbers of girls and younger women. On the other hand, where Islamists did not conquer (large parts of) states, they became popular in countries like Mauritania, because contrary to mainstream practice in West African Islam , they embraced slaves and former slaves as equal citizens, even stimulated them to study Islam and become Imams.1
