A member of the al-Khansa'a Brigade training with AK-47

According to the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium (TRAC), on February 2, 2014, the Daesh announced the formation of two brigades of Al-Khansaa. One that would work at the border checkpoints and a second one, “Umm Al-Rayan Centre of Operations Al-Khansaa brigade [that] is active in Raqqa.”

In 2014, according to Abu Ibrahim a-Raqawi, the pseudonym of a founding member of the Al-Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), the Daesh fighters were surprised, and then assassinated, by FSA (Free Syrian Army) members who dressed as women, complete with hijab, and proceeded through their checkpoints. Sharia does not allow the men to search women. So the Daesh started recruiting women for the express purpose of examining women, or those dressed as women, at checkpoints.

The Khansaa brigade, also known as the morality police, enforce the strict dress code of the Daesh on the streets of Raqqa after they receive their training. That training includes 15 days of weapons training, plus religious training that focuses on the “laws and principles of Islam.”

If a woman’s abaya (long black gown) is too tight or her niqabs (black veils) too transparent, she is taken to a local police station where she is whipped by members of the brigade. Twenty lashes is the penalty for a tight abaya, five lashes for wearing make-up under niqabs, and five lashes for a lack of meekness when confronted by the brigade members.

From William McCants new book, The ISIS Apocalypse: The History, Strategy, and Doomsday Vision of the Islamic State:

They offer women who flout the strict dress code a choice between flogging and the “biter.” “I did not know what a ‘biter’ was,” recalled one woman. “I thought it is a reduced sentence, I was afraid of whipping, so I chose the ‘biter.’” The Khansa women pressed a “sharp object that has a lot of teeth” to her breast. “I screamed from pain and I was badly injured. They later took me to the hospital.” “I felt then,” she recalled, “that my femininity has been destroyed completely.”

TRAC has estimated that perhaps as many as 200 women, or as much as 15 percent of all foreign fighters in Daesh, are women. They come from at least 14 different countries, often lured there over the internet. The Christian Science Monitor reported in September of 2014, that there were 150 French women in Syria. It is hard to determine the exact number of foreign women living under the rule of the Daesh or participating in the Khansaa brigades.

But the women from overseas were treated very well by the Organization:

It soon became clear that the foreign women had more freedom of movement, more disposable income and small perks: jumping to the front of the bread line, not having to pay at the hospital. Some seemed to have unfettered Internet access, including multiple Twitter profiles. “The foreign women got to do whatever they wanted,” Asma complained. “They could go wherever they wanted.” “They were spoiled,” Aws said. “Even the ones that were younger than us had more power.”

In the March 2015 interview with Syria Direct, a-Raqawi, of RBSS, talked about how well the foreign fighters are treated by Daesh.

Ordinary people pay taxes. All the stores inside the city pay SP1,500 ($8) for water and electricity, SP800 ($4.20) for phone service, all considered a luxury tax—not counting Zakaat. There is a cleanliness tax, even houses are charged SP800 ($4.20) for phones, water and electricity, or SP1,000 ($5.30), according to the house. There's a cleanliness tax, and any person who throws garbage in a non-licensed location pays SP5,000 ($26.40). … IS pays very close attention to its fighters, particularly the foreigners. They make sure that the foreign fighters enjoy a decent amount of comfort. No doubt their situation is much better than the residents. The fighters' salaries range from $700-$1,500, according to the fighter, his importance and position, e.g. if he's a doctor, engineer, or ordinary person. IS helps out its fighters in general, for example by giving them houses, and if there was a surplus of cars, by giving them cars. Their lives are wonderful compared to that of the residents.

And, Daesh will do all it can to find them wives. Multiple wives if necessary.

The Evening Standard reported last year that:

IS needs a stream of women both because the offer of an attractive young Western bride is central to its recruitment of foreign fighters and because producing what they call “young lions” is a requirement of state-building.

Apparently women, under the rule of the Daesh can be sex slaves, enforcers or wives of fighters. Sometimes they are both enforcers and wives. If she is a Western woman she was likely lured in via social media which Daesh expertly uses as propaganda outlets.
