Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
Senator Áñez, whose interim presidency was associated with a resurgence of Christian nationalism, also expressed anti-indigenous views publicly and on Twitter, writing “I dream of a Bolivia without satanic indigenous rituals, the city isn’t made for Indians, they need to go back to the countryside!” During her tenure, there was a wave of anti-indigenous sentiment and violence, some involving members of the Church. For instance, a hardline pastor reportedly attacked traditional indigenous beliefs as evidence of “witchcraft” and claimed that “[Under Morales] we were turning into a backwards nation – people wanted to legalize abortion, to legalize gay marriage, they wanted to legalize the satanistas [satanists]!”
LGBTI+ rights
Despite these legal gains, Bolivia remains a relatively conservative country and the public has been resistant to the idea of full marriage equality. The Constitution limits marriage to that between a man and a woman.
Gender equality and reproductive rights
At the end of 2017, Bolivia issued a newly revised Criminal Code expanding the grounds for abortion before the eighth week of pregnancy to a broader range of circumstances. However, the reform was subject to large protests from anti-choice groups throughout the country. One of the key driving forces behind the protests was the Platform for Life and Family ( Plataforma por la Vida y Familia ), whose president described its work as “necessary to defend the four principles postulated by Benedict XVI, since they are completely threatened in the country.” Also backing the call to repeal the new law was the Catholic Church and international lobbying groups such as the Catholic anti-abortion group, Human Life International and the USA based Christian advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom International. …

How can I approach dating with beliefs and boundaries still changing?
For dating and boundaries in Bolivia, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Name the boundary or compatibility question before making a larger commitment. The two starting points below address relationship choice, family expectations and formal status. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Distinguish curiosity from pressure
Trying something new is not a requirement for proving independence. Keeping a boundary is not automatically obedience to an old rule. Ask whether the choice is wanted, informed and free from pressure in the present. You can change your mind as you learn more.
Choose how much history to share
A first conversation can be about what you want now rather than a complete account of your former community. You can explain that some topics or choices need time without giving details that feel too exposing.

How did religious identity change in Bolivia?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Bolivia table shows 4.0% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 9.5% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 95.7% | 88.9% | -6.8 pp |
| Muslim | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 4.0% | 9.5% | +5.5 pp |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 0.2% | 1.5% | +1.3 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
