Currently, the Constitution
guarantees the rights of indigenous peoples, Afro-Ecuadorians and Montuvians.
Moreover, it recognizes the cultural rights (religious, linguistic, artistic, judicial,
territorial, sexual and others) of groups such as adolescents, women, young people,
groups and people with disabilities. For the cultural rights enshrined in the Constitution
to be fulfilled, we must promote respect the cultural manifestations of others, seek to
understand them, learn from them and recognize them on an equal footing. This
recognition is known as "intercultural dialogue” .
