Resumen:
Femicide persists as a global health issue. The death of the maternal figure represents an impact on everyone in her social environment, including her children. Therefore, this integrative review study aims to analyze what national and international scientific literature presents regarding the consequences of femicide on orphaned children. An integrative literature review was conducted on studies related to the mentioned topic. The search strategy resulted in 28 articles for final qualitative analysis. The results point to various groups of consequences for orphans, mainly divided into individual, familial, and social consequences. Thus, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to implement reception and protection policies aimed at supporting these individuals in vulnerable conditions. © 2025, Sociedad Interamericana de Psicologia.
