Noctámbul@s is an initiative aimed at studying, researching, and analysing the specific dynamics that sexual violence takes in nightlife settings and in contexts of drug use, as well as designing practical strategies to prevent this violence, raise awareness among the population for its detection, respond to it once it occurs, and facilitate victim recovery and community restoration.

All of this is based on understanding sexual violence as a structural phenomenon derived from gender inequality—which, in intersection with substance use, takes on specific forms—and therefore promoting changes that are also structural and systemic.

The Noctámbul@s observatory bases its work on analysis and preventive intervention, using a participatory action-research approach, with the goal of changing the perspectives of young people as well as of the professionals involved in nightlife settings and in prevention/risk reduction efforts.
