What does the Paraguay report establish about women leaving religion?

Country chapter updated 7 October 2021 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
The rights of women
According to SOMOSGAY, a local group fighting for LGBTI+ equality, the newly elected Minister for Education and Science pronounced himself to be against unconventional family units, particularly those run by single mothers.
Education and children’s rights
In 2017, Paraguay became the first country in the world to ban gender issues from school lessons due to the support of conservative Christian groups based in the US, such as Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). At the time of the ban, the then Minister for Education swore he would burn any books that contained so-called “gender ideology.”
LGBTI+ rights
Members of the trans community are particular targets for violence and impunity for attacks is prevalent. According to SOMOSGAY, at least 60 cases of murders of trans women remain unsolved.

The dominant influence of religion in public life undermines the right to equality and/or non-discrimination
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.

Systemic religious privilege results in significant social discrimination

What deserves attention when a woman’s beliefs and roles change?
For women leaving religion in Paraguay, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Identify the specific choice and the practical or institutional constraint affecting it. The two starting points below address gendered expectations, access to services and family responsibilities. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make the expectation specific
Dress, caregiving, education, partnership, parenthood and leadership can each carry different pressures. Choose the expectation that is affecting your current decision. It is easier to assess a particular demand than a claim that an entire life must fit one approved role.
Separate permission from practical access
A formal right and the ability to use it are different questions. Consider money, transport, documents, childcare, information and whether someone can interfere with access. Country reports may describe institutional restrictions or service barriers; they cannot determine what an individual provider will do today.

How did religious identity change in Paraguay?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Paraguay table shows 0.5% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 4.2% 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 | 96.8% | 93.5% | -3.3 pp |
| Muslim | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 0.5% | 4.2% | +3.7 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 | 2.7% | 2.2% | -0.5 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.
