Tactical Mapping Session

A picture (or in this case a map) is worth a thousand words. From maps made with global information system (GIS) technology that identify toxic sites to a map recreating demolished neighborhoods to a map that illustrates interconnected systems supporting the use of torture, these maps can be valuable tools. Tactical mapping sessions provide the opportunity to examine a specific problem or human rights issue area and map the relationships that are currently operating in the environment.
