“Orphans, traversed by femicide” is the result of a wide-ranging clinical and social investigation: an essay that names and gives body to a hitherto invisible experience – the boys and girls who are orphaned by the femicide of their mothers.
The author proposes a new category of orphanhood: that of orphans due to femicide, and develops the concept of complex grief, which accounts for the uniqueness of these childhoods crossed by the most extreme violence.
It also maintains that gender violence is not only a crime against women, but also a form of child abuse.
From a traumatic clinic, the book traces the history of childhood and motherhood, integrates contributions from psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, social research and feminist thought, and demonstrates how these violences are part of a structural plot that demands collective and State responses.
Some of the stories that marked society run through these pages and reveal that, along with femicide, there remains a brutal debt that our community still does not know how to repair.
A demanding and necessary book, conceived as a clinical and social tool, which challenges professionals, activists and decision-makers, and calls for action in the face of debt.
