Two weeks ago, 234 teenage girls were kidnapped in the Nigerian city of Bornu while taking their exams. It is assumed that the girls were taken by Boko Haram, a local Islamic extremist group whose name means western education is forbidden. It is feared that the girls have been sold into marriage to the militants and some have been moved to nearby countries of Cameroon and Chad. Conflicting information about the girls whereabouts and their current status and situation has left parents and loved ones devastated. We are asking you, our supporters, to put the girls in your thoughts, prayers, and meditations, as well as those of the Nigerian women, men, and activists who have been taking and continue to take to the streets until the girls are brought back to their families safely. Please sign the petition to show your support.
