A new law will provide an allowance for children of mothers killed by their partners or ex-partners.
To her friends and family in the Chilean capital of Santiago, 25-year old Silvana Garrido was a radiant, happy and beautiful woman full of life and love for her three-year-old daughter."From the first instance, her family and closest friends believed it was a femicide perpetrated by her partner," says Francisca Millán Zapata of AML Women's Defence, who represented Ms Garrido's family in court.
The girl, who is seven now, is eligible to receive a monthly state allowance of 160,000 Chilean pesos until she is 18 years old. Minister Orellana says the aim is to go further than just providing financial aid - and to recognise violence as a structural problem.Antonia Orellana says reducing the number of femicides is s "global challenge"
As well as an allowance for the children of murdered women, the law also grants employment protection to survivors of attempted or frustrated femicides. In the meantime, the monthly allowance which the daughter of femicide victim Silvana Garrido will now receive is welcomed by her family.Silvana Garrido's mother and her sister Brenda were joined in their fight for justice by lawyer Francisca Millán and prosecutor Paula Rojas
