Studies of different authors and testimonies of relatives of the victims allow establishing that the effects of this type of events have an impact on the closest environment. The absence of a characterization of the emotional consequences in the relatives of the victims of Femicide in Manabí sharpens the panorama of this social problem in this province. The main emotional sequels that family members of the victims of Femicide in Manabí face are described. Testimonies of relatives and neighbors of the victims of Femicide in Manabí, as well as authorities who know the subject, were compiled. a bibliographic review of scientific articles related to the subject was used. Qualitative research methods and techniques were applied such as analysis of gender violence and the consequences that this causes in the family. The consequences of gender violence affect not only the couple, but also their closest circle causing sequelae that impact in different ways on mothers, fathers, children, brothers, uncles, cousins, neighbors and society that has witnessed or known of the crime. Those affected have emotional problems, difficulty adapting to changes, feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, depression, signs of aggression and isolation attitudes. It is necessary that the Ecuadorian State intervene with policies not only of investigation, but also of support to relatives of the victims.
