Kidnapped Girls

Protesters in a "million-woman march" on Wednesday, April 30, in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, highlight the government's failure to rescue scores of girls who were kidnapped from their school in Chibok in mid-April. Militants seized about 230 girls in the dead of night at a high school in the nation's far northeast, a hotbed for Islamist group Boko Haram.

So here is a story about over 200 school-aged girls who were recently kidnapped in the Eastern part of Nigeria, but there has been little international media attention on it, surprise surprise. The links below illustrate the growing call for attention on the issue which needs to occur in order to try to save them.
