El 2,4% de los mayores de 18 años en Ecuador se identifica como LGBTI+

The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) plays a vital role in generating robust, inclusive statistics that illuminate the socioeconomic realities of Ecuador’s LGBTI+ population. By integrating gender perspectives into its operations, the institute aims to provide high-quality data that accurately reflects living conditions, ensuring these groups are no longer invisible in national records. This data-driven approach is essential for designing effective public policies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. The collaboration between national statistical bodies and international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) highlights how accurate census information and inclusion indices can identify legislative gaps and social challenges, thereby guiding more equitable decision-making processes. In the context of open data, this case demonstrates how transparent, accessible, and disaggregated statistics empower marginalized communities. It underscores the necessity of open, high-quality datasets as foundational tools for accountability, enabling civil society to monitor progress and advocate for rights based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
