Every 69 minutes, one person lost their life due to criminal violence. According to reports from the National Police and statistics from the Attorney General's Office of the State of Ecuador, 7,592 violent deaths were recorded that year, which translates into a homicide rate of more than 40 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. These figures represent an approximate increase of 64.9% compared to the 4,603 deaths reported in 2022.

Public security continues to be a crucial challenge for Ecuador, and it is essential to implement effective strategies to reduce violence and guarantee the security of Ecuadorian society. In Babahoyo, capital of the province of Los Ríos, has also suffered violent deaths in 2023; The criminal acts ended the lives of many people, so it is necessary to accurately identify the violation of the right to public safety.
