This initiative is answering that question.
On April 3, 1993, Luz Marina Suazo Mancebo, known as Lucy, was murdered by her husband of 13 years. She was 33 years old and pregnant.
Both Lucy and her unborn died.
The crime was confessed.
The justice never came.
What was left behind was a daughter, a family, and a lifetime of rebuilding in silence.
Femicide does not end with death.
It leaves behind:
Children without protection
Families without support
Communities forced to survive quietly
LUCY33 exists to change that.
Visibility to femicide-affected children and families
Amplify survivor-led education
Investigate the long-term impact of femicide on families and children
Longitudinal Study on Femicide Aftermath (1993–2026): Utilizing over three decades of primary data to map the systemic rotation of legacy trauma, state liability, and economic dismantling."
2026 Campaign Goals
• 33 Awareness Talks at Universities, Events & Conferences
• 33 Media Features Sharing the Realities of Femicide Aftermath
• 33 Institutional Partners Supporting Families and Children Left Behind
These goals will ensure the experiences of families affected by femicide are heard, studied, and addressed — not left invisible.
GENEVA / GLOBAL — While the world’s attention usually fades 72 hours after a tragedy, one study has refused to stop watching. The LUCY33 Initiative represents the world’s longest recorded longitudinal case study of a femicide aftermath, tracking the systemic, economic, and psychological rotation of a survivor family for over three decades.
Beginning on April 3, 1993, this study shifts the lens away from the crime itself to focus on the "Decadal Wake" it leaves behind. Led by the daughter of the victim—now a lead technical consultant—the study provides a unique, 33-year audit of how state systems, schools, and social safety nets either support or dismantle a family over time.
Why This Data Matters
Most academic research on violence is "snapshot" data, typically following survivors for only 12 to 24 months. LUCY33 fills the global "Temporal Blindspot" by providing primary evidence on the long-term journey of survival:
The 10-Year Collapse: Identifying why trauma often manifests as academic and economic barriers a full decade after the event.
Systemic Rotation: Mapping the recurring failure points where state institutions lose track of orphans during their transition into adulthood.
The Legacy Protocol: A roadmap for institutional care that moves from "temporary aid" to "lifelong stability."
The Foundation of the Academy
Every module in the Femicide Aftermath Academy is built on this 33-year evidence base. We are moving from "data" to "infrastructure"—translating three decades of documented "failure points" into a validated technical protocol for global institutions. This isn't just a story; it is the blueprint for a new global standard of care.
LUCY33: Longitudinal Data & Evidence:
Study Metadata:
Duration: 33 Years (1993–Present)
Scope: Longitudinal analysis of post-femicide institutional interaction.
Key Discovery: The "72-Hour Fallacy"—the gap between immediate crisis response and decadal survival needs.
Outcome: The development of the Global Aftermath Protocol.

Who Leads LUCY33?
Arcy Rosmery (Daughter of Lucy)
Intersectional Femicide Aftermath Educator
LUCY33 is survivor-led and grounded in lived experience, research, and public education.
I grew up in the aftermath of femicide.
That experience shapes everything I do — not as a story for sympathy, but as knowledge institutions urgently need. My role is to ensure that policies, programs, and public conversations reflect the reality of families who live with the consequences for decades.
This project is survivor-led.
It exists because the aftermath of femicide has been ignored for decades.
