First report on gender-based violence statistics in El Salvador

Abstract

This report has been prepared by the Gender-Based Violence Research Institute(IVG) at the request of USAID El Salvador. Its objective is to provide relevant statistical information on gender-based violence in El Salvador, at the national level and in the 21 municipalities covered by the LibrES project over the past decade (2011-2023), to establish a general overview of the situation of GBV in the country and in the project's areas of influence. The data has been obtained via public information requests to government institutions, official reports and annual reports published by government institutions, and data from the Infosegura program.
