El Salvador has reached its lowest homicide rate in history, marking a dramatic transformation under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele. According to data shared by @EndWokeness, the country’s homicide rate has fallen from 103 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2015 to just 1.1 in 2025, positioning El Salvador among the safest nations in the Western Hemisphere.
The post outlines two decisive actions behind this success: removing corrupt judges and imprisoning criminals through comprehensive security reforms and the Territorial Control Plan.
This historic reduction reflects the impact of Bukele’s firm strategy against organized crime, which has transformed the country’s global image—from one of the world’s most violent nations to a model of public safety and governance in Latin America.
