INEGI data on Afro-Mexican population and rights presented in Tepoztlán

The workshop in Tepoztlán analyzed ethnic self-identification using official data to make Afro-Mexican and Indigenous communities more visible. This initiative demonstrates how transparent management of statistical information is crucial for strengthening cultural identity and demanding recognition of their fundamental rights. The presentation of statistical results enabled the linkage of official figures with lived experiences, highlighting the importance of transparency in government data. By making this information accessible, it facilitates social dialogue and promotes a deeper understanding of the population’s diversity within the state. Participants demanded that institutions actively support these communities, fostering evidence-based public policies. This approach underscores the relevance of open data for designing effective strategies that ensure respect for their rights and promote social inclusion through quantitative evidence.
