Abstract
This study offers potential explanations for the extremely high rates of gender based violence experienced by women in El Salvador in the past 10-15 years. I explore the roles of organized crime, the long-term effects of the civil war (1980-1992), and women’s gradually rising levels of autonomy as potential contributors toward heightened amounts of violence against women in El Salvador (VAW). Next, I assess the measures implemented by the Salvadoran government, and gage their effectiveness in combatting this VAW epidemic.
