Orphans of femicides in the Dominican Republic have no one to care for them. Research shows the abandonment of children who lose their mothers: separated from their siblings and revictimized at school.

Parental authority continues to be a pending struggle of the feminist movement in the country. Last year alone, these sexist murders left at least 64 boys and girls motherless. There were 70 in 2022. And 358 in the last five years. “Violence against women is not only suffered by them, but also by their children,” laments Yanira Fondeur, president of the Life Without Violence Foundation.
