Vian, 26, and Zhyan,18, are sisters from al-Shaddadi in al-Hasakah governorate, Syria. Both were forced to marry Islamic State militants after the terrorist group took control of the region in 2015. When their town was liberated from IS, they joined the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) in the fight against the terror group. VOA's Zana Omar reports from al-Shaddadi.
