People of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing indicators to measure and counter inequalities

People of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing indicators to measure and counter inequalities

People of African descent have become active political and social actors during this century. They have managed to put their historical claims and revindications on public agendas, creating new State obligations to guarantee their fundamental rights and achieve greater levels of equality. There is therefore an urgent need to end the statistical invisibility of populations of African descent, which is an example of structural racism. Information is thus a fundamental tool for policies and for actions undertaken by Afrodescendent organizations, as well as for monitoring regional and internationa…
