Why was there was no hue and cry raised from the Obamas to Malala when Boko Haram brutally slaughtered 59 boys just because they were attending schools? This group should have been brought to the worlds attention long ago!!! Boko Haram – whose name means ‘western education is sinful’ – does not distinguish between the education of girls and boys. In February, the group attacked another school. After boarding up every exit, its men seized 59 boys and gunned them down or cut their throats with machetes. Some buildings were sealed up and set alight. The girls were ordered to go home, abandon their ‘wicked’ schooling and seek husbands. Where was the selfie protest then? Or does a savage affront to male education matter less than a savage affront to female education? The answer should clearly be no. For equality to count, both boys and girls need to feel safe in school. By focusing only on the girls – ‘Our Girls’ – we forget the boys who are also in danger. #meninism #SaveOurGirls #BringBackOurGirls blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/05/boko-haram-also-murders-boys-where-was-the-selfie-protest-then/
