Abstract: One of the biggest challenges we have when we try to solve social problems is the invisibility of the groups and their needs. Well, this is something that, despite 50 years of struggle of LGBTI+ activism at the international level, continues to appear in the Latin American region, which has brought very little attention by the States towards this group and their rights. The objective of this article is to reflect on the reality that the LGBTI+ community lives in terms of their well-being and standard of living. To achieve this, a reflection is proposed based on the contrast of information from three indicators: The welfare index of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), The Worst (& Safest) Countries for LGBTQ + Travel in 2019, and the Inclusion elements raised by the LGBTI+ Inclusion Index of the World Bank and UNDP 2019.
