Zoraima Cuello advierte que la estadística oficial omite un 57 % de los feminicidios verificados

Zoraima Cuello highlights a critical statistical gap in the Dominican Republic regarding femicide data, revealing that official government figures significantly underestimate the actual number of victims compared to verified media reports. This discrepancy is not an isolated incident but part of a broader systemic failure where essential sectors like water quality and public security lack updated, reliable data. Such inconsistencies compromise the state’s ability to effectively allocate resources and design evidence-based policies to protect citizens. This lack of accurate information undermines national planning and decision-making, leaving the government unable to address urgent social challenges adequately. When institutions fail to measure progress rigorously, they govern blindly, which weakens public trust and hinders economic development. Reliable statistics are fundamental for ensuring transparency, accountability, and the effective implementation of protection measures for vulnerable populations. For open data advocates, this article underscores the urgent need for modernized, accessible, and verified public information systems. It illustrates how data opacity directly impacts human rights and policy efficacy. The call for standardized, transparent data management emphasizes that only through truth-based statistics can societies build efficient institutions and ensure that decisions are grounded in reality rather than speculation.
