Ecuador
In May 2017, Lenin Moreno took office after winning a closely contested presidential election. Unlike his predecessor, Rafael Correa, President Moreno has publicly embraced respect for free speech and promised to deliver a more tolerant government. Ecuador still faces serious human rights challenges, including specific provisions in a law that regulates the media; limited judicial independence; poor prison conditions; and far-reaching restrictions on women’s and girls’ access to reproductive health care.
