Body Mapping is a tool to help former child combatants—boys and girls that have been used and subjected to abuse and violence during a conflict— begin to heal and re-enter their communities. Together, the children with their family and community members illustrate various physical, psychological, and social effects of child soldiering on a life-sized outline of a human body. The body maps are filled with images and text about each participant’s experiences before, during, and after conflict. To spark conversations and contribute to the healing process, ten maps were made in seven communities within the Democratic Republic of the Congo, resulting in concrete recommendations.
