OUR WORK

We advocate for disarmament and non-proliferation policies as crucial elements of sustainable peace and security. By supporting initiatives that reduce the availability and use of weapons, especially in conflict-affected regions, we work to create a less violent world.

United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice

Our participation in the CCPCJ has been fundamental in promoting more effective and humane policies in crime prevention and criminal justice. Since 2016, we have been committed to this process, connecting issues such as the recruitment of children by armed groups with drug policies and peacebuilding.

United Nations Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

We participate in NPT and TPNW sessions, addressing various aspects related to peace, security, and sustainable development. In 2023, our dynamic participation included collaborating with REMECIN, UNODA, and other stakeholders in drafting joint working documents.

#Youth4Disarmament

The United Nations Office for Disarmament gathered a group of 25 young leaders to research and advocate on youth, peace, and security agendas. We participated in the Leaders4Tomorrow program, contributing to forums on youth, disarmament, and non-proliferation, and drafting public policy recommendations and working documents.

We are committed to strengthening institutions and promoting efforts to enhance transparency and social responsibility. By supporting initiatives that improve decision-making mechanisms, we work to ensure that institutions are better equipped to address global challenges, promoting peace and sustainable development.

Ágora advocates for drug policy reform, prioritizing harm reduction, public health, and human rights. By supporting initiatives that promote alternative approaches to drug control, such as decriminalization, drug regulation, and access to essential treatment and medications, we work to address the root causes of drug-related harm and promote more effective and humane drug policies.

Synapses

Synapses is a consultancy focused on drugs. Our social justice-based approach aims to ensure equity in the psychoactive industry by promoting the participation of communities marginalized by the war on drugs.

Commission on Narcotic Drugs

Since our active participation in UNGASS 2016, we have been involved in United Nations events on drugs, particularly in the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND). Our presence has been consistent, participating both virtually and in person to provide input, submit written statements, organize side events, and spark key debates.

#SupportDon'tPunish

Every year, on June 26, we carry out activities as part of the Global Day of Action campaign #SupportDon'tPunish.

Gender equality and women's empowerment are fundamental to our mission. We promote the participation of women in peace processes, decision-making, and conflict resolution. By supporting initiatives that foster women's leadership and empowerment, we ensure that women have a voice in shaping the future of their communities and countries.

Ágora is committed to promoting the youth, peace, and security agenda. By empowering youth to become agents of change in their communities, we work to ensure their active participation in decision-making processes that affect them. Through various programs and initiatives, we provide young people with the tools and resources they need to advocate for their rights and participate in peacebuilding efforts.

Youth Council

The Youth Council is an innovative citizen participation mechanism in the municipalities of Mexico City that allows young people to meet in community centers to debate and collaborate in the formulation and evaluation of government actions and public policies in their municipality.

Youth Electoral Platform

During the most recent electoral process in Mexico, we designed a platform where, by entering the district number, it was possible to consult information about candidates under 35 years old running for local or federal deputy positions or governorships.
