How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for minority protection. 100 means strong rights, safety, recognition and practical participation for ethnic, religious, linguistic, indigenous, disabled, sexual and other minorities.

The calculation combines nine components: 20% safety from racial or xenophobic exclusion, 16% low xenophobia, 14% religious freedom, 12% LGBTQ+ rights, 10% LGBTQ+ social acceptance, 10% anti-discrimination protection, 8% personal freedom, 6% social cohesion and 4% cultural freedom.

The public source families are V-Dem, Freedom House, OHCHR Universal Human Rights Index, OSCE/ODIHR hate-crime data, Minority Rights Group, ILGA, UNHCR context, World Bank governance indicators and maintained Nomadino indicators.

The indicator rates everyday protection, not constitutional text alone. State persecution, group violence, weak enforcement, religious or linguistic restrictions and criminalised identities can materially limit the raw value.

The rating equals the rounded raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
