México Unido Contra la Delincuencia is a non-profit, non-partisan, secular civil association. Since 1997, the organisation has worked for the construction of an effective citizenship in favour of safety, legality and justice. Born of a citizens’ initiative, the original purpose of the organisation was to look for new ways of organising social efforts to reverse insecurity, and to not remain inactive in the face of increasing degradation of the living environment in the country. Throughout our more than 16 years of experience in the field of security, MUCD has provided support to tens of thousands of victims, collaborated with local, state and national governments, and advised multilateral agencies. Similarly, we have established the country’s largest culture of lawfulness programme, and most recently we have become one of the leading organisations working in favour of drug policy reform at the national, regional and international levels.
