How to read Ecuador's freedom profile
With an overall score of 59.7/100, Ecuador is mixed — genuinely free in some areas and notably restricted in others. It ranks #95 of the 197 countries we track and sits within the Americas region, where it can be compared directly against its neighbours.
Its strongest freedom is Religion (9.8/10), while Equal Protection (2.2/10) is where it scores lowest. That 7.6-point spread means Ecuador's record is very uneven — freedom here depends heavily on which right you look at. The category breakdown below shows each of the ten freedoms in full, with the source behind every score.
