Advocacy Intern
Mira Cohen is the Advocacy Intern at the Quixote Center. She is a fourth-year undergraduate student at McGill University, majoring in International Development and Hispanic Studies. Over the past academic year, Mira studied at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP) in Mexico, where she worked as a member of the incident response team at Red Franciscana para Migrantes, one of the Quixote Center's partner organizations. In Mexico, she helped facilitate workshops to raise awareness about migration issues across Mexico and Latin America and contributed to NGO statements urging the UNHCR to take action on migration and human rights concerns. Mira has also reported on the Wayuu, an Indigenous group in Colombia, highlighting their resistance to environmental exploitation and government corruption for The Upstream Journal, a human rights and social justice magazine. She is passionate about migrant justice, addressing the root causes of violence, and grassroots advocacy, and she is excited to be joining the Quixote Center this summer.
