This article aims to analyse the agencies and forms of representation of young people who participated in mediation processes related to youth gangs in Ecuador. Since the beginning of the 21st mediation alternatives –in which different hegemonic sectors have intervened– have been rehearsed proposing different options to substitute violence suffered and exercised (as a response) by youth gangs from Ecuador. The research is grounded on interviews conducted between 2018 and 2023 with various actors that have participated and documented the processes and results of mediation. By reviewing the historical processes of inequality and colonialism, placed in dialogue with the empirical material, we discuss the consequences and limits of mediation processes
