This chapter draws upon fieldwork with young women after the civil war in Mozambique and research with the Yazidi women and girls returning from Islamic State captivity and enslavement to explore how spirituality can positively or negatively affect the acceptance by the larger community of children born of war related sexual violence. In the case of the Tsonga people in Mozambique, achieving harmony after the armed conflict meant that all the young people who had suffered, including children born of sexual violence during the war, had to be brought back into the fold of the community through naming and rituals. Alternatively, Yazidi religious leaders modified birth rituals. They used these modified rituals to try and reweave the fabric of people's lives and the wider Yazidi community itself in the face of the damage done by the Islamic State's horrific practices. The rebaptizing ceremonies allow the Yazidi women and girls to return to their original faith and again become a Yazidi. However, the children born from the rape by the Islamic State are not allowed to rebaptize, which has led to their abandonment. The author highlights the need to give due consideration to the role of spirituality and local rituals in protecting children, building resilience, and laying the groundwork for reconciliation.
