Nigerian Ngos Hold Meeting on New Tactics
In December 2004, fifteen members of FINGO (Forum for Imo NGOs), a network of NGOs in the state of Imo, Nigeria, met to examine tactics used to address domestic violence and protect women in Nigeria. In addition to a discussion of conventional tactics, the group employed "tactical mapping" to view relationships that reinforce or are affected by these issues.
