Why El Salvador’s women are choosing suicide
source : CGTN América
In addition to having the highest rate of homicide in the world, El Salvador also has one of the highest rates of violence against women.

It’s no surprise then that many women in El Salvador have sought a more permanent solution. Suicide.
