ABOUT US
In.Visibles is a platform of journalists, communicators and academics who specialize in organized crime and human rights in Latin America. We analyze the dynamics of criminal organizations and illegal markets and their impact on marginalized populations, as well as the effectiveness of security policies across the region. We seek to contribute to one of the most relevant debates in Latin America today with quality information and analysis as well as new cross-border narratives
HOW WE DO IT
We work collaboratively with local experts and produce cross-border analyses, explainers, in depth interviews and long-term research on the impact of organized crime. In particular, we document and reflect on the dynamics of the criminal organizations that control illegal markets such as trafficking in illicit substances, the impact of punitive security strategies, including militarization and the expansion of the use of prisons. We prioritize a gender approach to our work, which seeks to highlight the impact of these crimes on invisible populations.
