USAID’s $35 million LibrES: For an El Salvador Free of Gender-Based Violence project helps reduce gender-based violence (GBV) through prevention, protection, and accountability, developing safer communities for the most vulnerable groups.

The project is implemented by Arizona State University in collaboration with seven local partner organizations and numerous other resource partners who lend their expertise in GBV prevention work. Activities focus on municipalities with high rates of GBV  in the departments of Santa Ana, San Salvador, and San Miguel.
