Toward a Better Understanding of Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Abstract
In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) there is limited knowledge about the size of the LGBTQ population and their experiences of discrimination. This technical note, based on a compilation of studies in LAC, evidences the existing challenges and data gaps to measure the size of the LGBTQ population and their experiences of discrimination in the region. This document offers a selection of good practices for the collection of data related to LGBTQ population and provides recommendations for future surveys and studies on the subject with a focus on sample and instruments design to better address the theme of diverse sex orientations and gender identities.

“Measuring the LGBT population is fraught with issues because most nationally representative surveys ask respondents whether they belong to groups directly or without providing them privacy to answer these questions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
