I choose to live in peace
El Salvador has the highest level of violence in all of Latin America, with a homicide rate of almost 70 per 100,000 inhabitants and an alarming incidence of other violence. One of the main objectives of the MDG-Fund-supported Joint Programme is to promote a civic culture of respect for the rules of peaceful coexistence between people. Since 2010, it has been supporting the campaign "Yo decido vivir en paz" ("I choose to live in peace"), with messages about the daily practice of values and norms of social coexistence.
