MYTH 1: Femicide is one moment in time.
For children impacted, it is not.
It is a continuum.
Before the killing, there is violence.
During the event, there is shock and testimony.
Afterward, there is the collapse of safety — home, parents, school, community.
In 60% of cases, the perpetrator is the father. Many children lose both parents in one day.
Then come the years:
Legal battles. Custody disputes. Financial instability.
New caregivers who are also traumatized.
Trauma mislabeled as “mental health problems.”
And still today — there is no official international protocol to safeguard children after femicide.
We are building one.
