Looking at the story (exposed to over 80 genocide), it is fully understandable. But yet so heartbreaking tragic 💔😨

Yazidis will not accept the children who have IS rapists as their father.



Good by Yazda Sweden - yazda to point out that these children and women actually need help and support.
The Yazidis are ethnically Kurdish, and part of their religious beliefs include precepts of both Islam and Christianity. Their religious doctrine says both parents must be Yazidi in order for a child to be recognized by the community.
“I believe it’s not right. The women and children need help and support,” Ahmed Burjus, the London-based deputy director for Yazda, the Global Yazidi Organization, and a member of the Yazidi community himself, told The Media Line. “There is no need to talk about religion. We need to talk about humanity.”
Traditionally, marrying someone who is not Yazidi has meant women were forced to leave the community. The council made an exception for those forced into marriage by ISIS.
The recent announcement was a dramatic change from the week before.
Alexandra Saieh, an advocacy manager at the Norwegian Refugee Council, explained to The Media Line that the Yazidi Supreme Spiritual Council had announced last week that it would allow “all survivors” back into the community. This weekend, it amended the decision to exclude the children of rape victims.
Thus, women raped and impregnated by ISIS fighters are faced with yet another trauma.
“This means that these women will have to choose between returning to their communities or keeping their children. No matter what, the consequences are dire,” Saieh told The Media Line. “Some women have been forced to give their children up for adoption; others have not been able to return to their communities.” "
