Yazidi genocide
ISIS committed genocide against the Yazidi people in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2017.[2][3][4] They killed 3000 to 5000 men and teenage boys,[5][6] and they sold 6000 to 10,000 Yazidi women in slave markets.[7][8][9][10] Sometimes young boys were also sold as slaves.[11]
The Yazidi community quickly welcomed the Yazidi women who had been taken as slaves, but they rejected the children who had been born as a result of sexual slavery and from genocidal rape.[12][13]

Yazidi's typically only recognise children as belonging to the community if both their parents hail from the sect.
