Plight of Yazidi Women in Iraq

We were being sold the Globalization and One-World stories; where boundaries were fainting and thanks to internet and social media whole world, as per the theory, had become one global-village. Finally humans were becoming one race... But then something like IS in Iraq happens and you wonder what went wrong? 

Unaffected nations go on partying and conferencing, Noble prizes keep churning out, so do movies, art and literature in rest of the world while some people are subjected to the worst in places like Iraq. What happened to the one-world story? In India, human rights activists are busy promoting public kissing on the streets; women rights orgs are busy talking on television and yet are immune to what happens to other "humans" and other "women". What happened to the great Obama and UNO? 

I think what is happening there has proved that humans are not yet civilized, all humans are not yet equal, women are still livestock, and ancient rule of animal kingdom "might is right" still works..
