Welcome to Episode 22 of the Social Justice Salon.In this episode, we learn about the Boko Haram conflict that is ongoing in the Lake Chad Basin and how it has been affecting children, specifically those drawn into Boko Haram's forces. Marianne is joined by the fantastic Chitra Nagarajan who gives us a rich insight into their experiences with findings from her extensive research.Chitra is an activist, adviser, facilitator, researcher, and writer who works to analyse conflict, build peace, and promote and protect human rights, particularly those of women, girls, and other marginalised groups, predominantly in West Africa. She integrates intersectional feminist principles in her work and has written two books: The World Was In Our Hands: Voices from the Boko Haram conflict and She Called Me Woman: Nigeria's queer women speak.Marianne and Chitra discuss the different ways that children have been pulled into the conflict, through abduction and through grooming. We touch on the unintended impacts of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign following the abduction of girls from Chibok in 2014, and the different ways children have had to navigate the conflict as wives of fighters, mothers of children when they are children themselves, and as child soldiers.Links and more infoVisit Chitra's websiteBuy her book The World was in our Hands: Voices from the Boko Haram ConflictBuy her book She Called Me Woman: Nigeria's Queer Women SpeakFollow the podcast on InstagramFollow Marianne on Instagram and TikTokBecome a member of Marianne's PatreonMusic by Luke Fraser at The Tonic and Artwork was by Marianne

In 2014, the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from the small town of Chibok, Nigeria. One of the young women, Naomi Adamu, and her friends smuggled a Bible into captivity, and for seven years the Scriptures were a source of their strength to resist. Upon the hostages' release, Wall Street Journal reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson interviewed Naomi and many others for their book Bring Back Our Girls, and wrote a 2021 cover story for Christianity Today in which they shared the role that their faith played in their captivity. As Boko Haram continues to kidnap and displace innocent people in Nigeria and religious conflict abounds, this piece offers an account of the ways that God can be at work in the darkest places.

En 2014 Michelle Obama y otras celebridades hicieron una campaña masiva con la consigna "Bring Back Our Girls". El objetivo era llamar la atención de la comunidad internacional para enfocarla en los ataques terroristas de Boko Haram, una organización que había pasado de solo ser hostil en contra del gobierno nigeriano a realizar actos horribles en contra de poblaciones civiles, específicamente de cristianos.

In this episode of the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, Aisha Yesufu discusses Nigeria's socio-economic challenges. The activist also shares her views on political developments in the country, claiming that President Bola Tinubu rigged his way into office, calling it a "political coup." The episode covers Yesufu's defense against allegations that she mismanaged Peter Obi's campaign funds. She reflects on Olumide Apata's performance in the Edo State Governorship election, and other topical issues. Despite these issues, Yesufu remains cautiously optimistic, urging Nigerians to keep the fire burning. Guest: Aisha Yesufu (Human Rights Activist and Co-convener, #BringBackOurGirls)

10 years ago, hundreds of Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria were abducted and held hostage by the terrorist group Boko Haram. The quest to rescue them captured the world's attention, aided by pleas from high-profile figures and a viral hashtag online. But a decade later, those who escaped are still dealing with the fallout and others are left wondering if they will ever see their loved ones again. In this episode, we hear the story of one survivor and look at the state of girls' education in the country.  Guest: Stephanie Busari, CNN Senior Editor - Africa  Read more here.

Since the armed group Boko Haram kidnapped nearly 300 students in 2014 at an all-girls school in the town of Chibok, abductions have become a recurrent fixture in Nigeria, especially in the northern regions. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and has one of the strongest military forces on the continent, so why does the government still grapple with mass kidnappings?

One hundred days ago, the world changed. October 7 has proven to be many things: the opening salvo in a brutal war between Israel and Hamas; an attack that could precipitate a broader, regional war; the beginning of a global, ongoing orgy of antisemitism; a wake-up call regarding the rot inside the West's once-great sensemaking institutions; a possible realignment of our politics. One of the things it has also been is a test. A moral test that many in the West have failed. That test of moral conscience is a continuing one considering there are still 136 hostages in Gaza. Two of them are babies; close to 20 of them are young women. Across the Western world, these hostages have faded from view. And when it comes to the fate of the many young women abducted by Hamas and taken to Gaza, the silence from some corners has been deafening. Today on Honestly, Bari argues that the groups you would expect to care most about these women and hostages—the celebrity feminists who are always the first to speak up in times of crisis, the prominent women's organizations who protested loudly when it came to #MeToo, Donald Trump, or Brett Kavanaugh, and the international, supposedly “nonpolitical” human rights organizations—have said and done next to nothing about the murder, kidnap, and rape of Israeli girls. What explains their silence—or worse, their downplaying or denial?  When Michelle Obama, Oprah, Malala Yousafzai, Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian—and the rest of the civilized world—saw the kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria by Boko Haram in April 2014, within days they took to Twitter and demanded “Bring Back Our Girls.” Why isn't the world demanding the same now?  It's been one hundred days in captivity: bring back our girls.

Over the past 14 years Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in Nigeria and neighbouring countries. The group gained international notoriety with the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria in 2014 which sparked the ‘Bring Back Our Girls campaign'. Their attacks also spread to Cameroon, Chad and Niger leaving thousands dead and three million people displaced according to the United Nations. Le Spectre de Boko Haram, an award winning documentary, recently screened in at the London Film Festival. It tells the story of three children living in a village in northern Cameroon, a region regularly attacked by Boko Haram in cross border raids. The film's director Cyrielle Raingou spoke to Africa Daily's Sharon Hemans about why she decided to tell this story and the challenges she faced as a woman film director.

In 2014, Boko Haram terrorists kidnapped 276 female students from their dormitory at the Government Girls Secondary School in the Nigerian town of Chibok. The act inspired international outrage and a worldwide campaign to #BringBackOurGirls. Far less attention has been paid, however, to the plight of those who escape Boko Haram's violence and become displaced within their own country. Now, anthropologist Gbemisola Abiola, PhD '23, is exploring different sites—camps, informal settlements, and host communities—where internally displaced persons (IDP) resettle. In this episode of Colloquy, Abiola discusses protracted displacement, the new structures of social and economic life that emerge from it, and the different survival strategies and tools IDP use to rebuild their lives.

This is a problem: these organizations are key to tackling things like climate change and Covid-19.But with a Nigerian leading the World Trade Organization and an Ethiopian heading the World Health Organization, that could be changing.

#BringBackOurGirls - dieser Slogan, auch geteilt von der damaligen First Lady Michelle Obama, machte 2014 auf die Entführung von 276 größtenteils christlichen Schülerinnen aus Chibok in Nigeria aufmerksam und erlangte weltweit Aufmerksamkeit. Immer noch gehört Nigeria zu den gefährlichsten Ländern für Christen was Gewalt angeht und auch Entführungen durch Islamisten haben nicht aufgehört. Mein Kollege Illia berichtet von der Situation im Land und was Christen tun, um in dieser Situation an ihrem Glauben festzuhalten.

Épisode 681 : En quelques années, les réseaux sociaux et Instagram sont devenu le refuge et le piédestal de tous les combats et le QG de l'activisme. On décrypte tout ça pour vous aujourd'hui !Le social media c'est de l'Humain. Sur les plateformes il y a tout ce qui nous constitue en tant que communautés. En tant que communautés avec un S. Alors évidemment il y a du fun, du futile et puis forcément aussi de la colère et des révoltes.Qu'est-ce que l'activisme sur les réseaux sociaux ?Le Social Media Activism est une forme de protestation ou de plaidoyer pour une cause qui utilise les réseaux sociaux comme moyen de communication et d'échange. On parle aussi parfois de Hashtag ActivismLes trois mots forts à retenir sont la sensibilisation, la solidarité et parfois la dénonciation à travers l'utilisation de hashtags, de publications et de campagnes social media. Le véritable activisme sur les réseaux sociaux est soutenu par des actions IRL, des dons et des engagements mesurables en faveur du changement. Il existe un terme pour les activistes qui n'agissent pas concrètement IRL : Les Slacktivistes (efforts minimes)
—Le hashtag crie de raliement des social media activistes !Parce que les hashtags jouent un rôle central dans la mobilisation des mouvements, on retrouve aussi parfois le terme de « hashtag activism ».#blacklifematters #metoo #balancetonporcLes hashtags deviennent des mots d'ordre où se cristallisent les engagements contre ou pour quelque chose.-Tout a réellement commencé en Iran en 2009Initialement les hahastags n'étaient simplement que des sortes de liens hypertextes internes à la plate-forme Twitter. De la technique, un outil e navigation…C'est en 2009 que le « hashtag » commence à s'imposer comme une balise communicante forte. Cette année, l'Iran se retrouve complètement déchirée suite à des élections très contestées et entachées de fraude. Un soulèvement populaire massif éclate et les affrontements sont nombreux.Certains manifestants décident d'utiliser Twitter pour communiquer leur détermination au reste du monde.Des hashtags comme #Neda (le prénom d'une jeune manifestante tuée par la police iranienne) ou #iranelection s'imposent.A l'époque on parle de Révolution Twitter.—Dans la foulée, les révoltes du Printemps Arabe explose en 2010Les réseaux sociaux se découvrent une nouvelle fonction. Un catalyseur d'énergie et un outil d'organisation des mouvements sociaux.Les réseaux sociaux et l'activisme sont réellement indissociables depuis les manifestations du printemps arabe de 2010Passage en revue de 12 ans deJ'ai lu ce matin un petit article qui passait en revue les différentes révolutions sociales qu'à connu Instagram avec l'analyse de 12 ans de # révolutionnaires sur Instagram. J'ai sélectionné ceux qui nous concernent le plus ce matin Janvier 2010> #jan25 (+40 millions de publications) Juillet 2013 > #OccupyWallStreet : les activistes dénonçaient le capitalisme(40,8 millions de publications) 2013 encore > Création du mouvement #BlackLivesMatter (27,5Milliards de publication) Avril 2014 > #BringBackOurGirls un soulèvement relayé par des influents et des comptes activistes pour pointer du doigt l'enlèvement d'ado par Boko Haram (278 millions de publications) 15 Octobre 2017 > le mouvement #metoo refait surface dans les réseaux (3Milliards de posts) Septembre 2020 > #Climatestrike (740 millions) lorsque des marches pour le climat étaient organisées partout dans le mondeInstagram est aujourd'hui devenu un outil essentiel pour les militants.——@Extinction RebellionSur instagram @extinctionrebellionfrance73k abonnés.Mais aussi des comptes locaux extrêmement puissants comme @xrlyon, @xrlrlle… Il y a un vrai maillage nationale qui s'organise autour du compte mère France.Sur TwitterIl s'agit d'un mouvement d'activiste d'abord britannique et qui aujourd'hui est très actif partout en Europe. XR se revendique comme un mouvement de désobéissance civile non violente.Son style, marquer les esprit pour faire bouger les lignes sur les sujets écologiques.Faux sang déversé, cercueils déambulant dans les rues, blocage du périphérique parisien à vélo…Extinction rébellion c'est une organisation sans visage connue. Une pure organisation communautaire qui forcement met à profit le social media pour organiser et rendre visible ses actions.Toute personne qui souhaite se lancer dans une action doit suivre un Manuel pour permettre l'auto-organisation d'action de désobéissance civile.Dans ce manuel on trouve notamment des conseils très précis sur la manière de communiquer ses actions sur les réseaux sociaux. Le Manuel précise par exemple que chaque action XR doit intégrer un vidéaste photographe.sitewebBref, ils sont très organisés et maîtrisent parfaitement les réseaux sociauxNous ToutesSur Instagram @noustoutesorg417k abonnés NousToutes est un collectif féministe ouvert à toutes et tous, constitué d'activistes dont l'objectif est d'en finir avec les violences sexistes.C'est un collectif qui a été créé en juillet 2018, suite aux mouvements #MeToo et #BalanceTonPorcLà aussi on trouve une stratégie social media très organisée avec une page mère et un certain nombre de comptes Instagram locaux. @noustouteslyon, @noustoutes67Sur ces comptes on trouve des contenus de sensibilisation. EN vidéo, post, reels…. Et puis évidemment des incitations à passer à l'action.L'enjeu pour le mouvement. Faire d'Instagram un moyen plus que la fin elle-même.Un hashtag fédérateur : #noustoutesUn hashtag qui rassemble 64k posts sur Instagram etOrgasme_et_moiSur Instagram @orgasme_et_moiCe compte je tenais à le mettre car à n'en point douter c'est de l'activisme. De l'activisme sur la sexualité.Sur son compte Charline éduque sur les différents aspects de la sexualité, mais aussi sur tous les clichés et enjeux sociétaux très actuels.La non binarité, l'acceptation de soi, les limites du consentement, l'inceste et surtout la bienveillance.Insta est son moyen de communiquer autour de ces sujets online mais elle « libère la parole » également lors d'évènement, auprès d'étudiants et même récemment dans un livre à destination des + 10 ans .C'est décomplexé mais son combat est très clairAlexandra CousteauSur Instagram @acousteauElle a reçu le militantisme en héritage car c'est la petite fille de Jacques-Yves Cousteau.Elle est Consultante pour Oceana et milite contre la chasse abusive aux animaux marins et pour pour la préservation de la planète bleue.

Grâce à ses études d'histoire de l'art et de sociologie, elle vulgarise des concepts au moyen de la BD.Elle aborde les sujets d'avortement, de parité, d'agisme et soutient largement les causes LGBTQIA+ Elle est également la dessinatrice du logo du mouvement Collages Féminicides Paris.Les marques aussi s'impliquent sur les réseaux, mais peuvent elles faire du business sans prendre position ?En préparant cet épisode je suis retombé sur un rapport datant d'il y a 3 ans maintenant. C'est le rapport Edelman Earned Brand.Dans l'étude on y apprend que près des 2/3 des consommateurs pensent qu'il est important pour les entreprises de prendre position sur les questions sociales.On pense forcément à Nike et à l'affaire kaepernick.En 2018, Nike choisit de mettre en avant dans un campagnes de pub de très grand ampleur un joueur de football américain pro BlackLifeMatters. Kapernick c'était notamment fait connaitre pour avoir été parmi les premiers à mettre un genoux à terre pendant l'hymne américain en signe de protestation.Dans un pays où les citoyens mettent la main sur le cœur lorsque retentissent les premières notes de l'hymne national, forcément c'est chaud.Prise de risque importante et à la clé polémique énorme.Mais infime, l'impact de la campagne Nike Kaepernick aura eu aussi un impact positif en terme de business. Dans les mois qui suivent la marque bénéficie d'une hausse de fréquentation de son site Internet et des interactions sur les réseaux sociaux.La campagne a eu un retentissement majeur international et a permis aussi à la marque de retrouver un angle pour s'adresserà un public plus jeunes et non-Blancs. sourceLors de la grève pour le climat en septembre dernier 2020, des marques comme Patagonia, Lush et Seventh Generation ont fermé des magasins, "se sont éteintes" sur les réseaux sociaux et ont fait don d'espace publicitaire au mouvementEn Juin 2020, Termakota s'engageait dans une lutte pour la transparence des prix en affichant sur un post Instagram le détail de ses taxes et contribution et sa marge finale.

Guest: Joe Parkinson John will interview Joe Parkinson, the co author of 'Bring Back Our Girls: The Untold Story of the Global Search for Nigeria's Missing Schoolgirls' alongside Drew Hinshaw. The book delves into the complex reality surrounding the Boko Haram kidnapping of 276 girls in Nigeria in 2014. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2014, the terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria. It gave rise to a viral Twitter movement #BringBackOurGirls and would eventually inspire hundreds of similar kidnappings in the years that followed. The WSJ's Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson explain how criminal groups are building a kidnapping for ransom industry in Nigeria.

Dr Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili is co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. In this episode, we speak with Dr Obiagelli Ezekwesili about inspiring and organising the next generation of peacebuilders. She shares insights on how we might approach governance and youth participation differently.

In recent years, activists in global social movements such as #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo, and #BringBackOurGirls have harnessed social media to raise awareness of injustice and counter prevailing narratives. How has Twitter reshaped activism and to what extent has the platform empowered marginalized groups to achieve political victories? Brooke Foucault Welles, associate professor at Northeastern University and coauthor of the book #HashtagActivism: Networks of Race and Gender Justice, and Meighan Stone, adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and coauthor of the book Awakening: #MeToo and the Global Fight for Women's Rights, to discuss the role of Twitter in modern social justice movements in the United States and abroad, including the implications for race and gender equality.

The leader of the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau is dead - according to his rival Islamist militants. In audio obtained by news agencies, the Islamic State West Africa Province said Shekau died detonating explosives on himself after a battle between the two groups. Under Shekau, Boko Haram staged bombings, kidnappings and prison breaks across the region. More than 30,000 people have been killed and over two million displaced. In 2014, his group kidnapped 2014 hundreds of girls from a school in Chibok, in Borno state, sparking the #BringBackOurGirls movement. Many of them are still missing. However, Shekau's death has been reported many times before - only for him to resurface. While neither Boko Haram nor the Nigerian government have confirmed his death, Ismail Alfa Abdulrahim, a journalist in Maiduguri, Northeast Nigeria believes this time - the news is true. He spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Hannatu Stephens was in her school's hostel in Chibok on the night of April 14, 2014. Speaking through a translator, she said at around 1 a.m., she heard loud noises coming from outside. The men who had broken into the hostel were not military soldiers, but members of the insurgency group, Boko Haram. Stephens and 275 other young women were ordered to leave the hostel and the insurgents set the school on fire. Stephens and the other girls were taken to Sambisa Forest, the known hiding sport for members of Boko Haram. The abduction of 276 girls sparked a campaign called Bring Back Our Girls, which had become the rallying cry in Nigeria and abroad. The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag tweeted by hundreds of thousands of people, including former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama. Stephens would be one of 82 schoolgirls eventually released after more than three years in Boko Haram captivity. In the largest liberation of hostages since the schoolgirls were abducted from their boarding school in 2014, five commanders from the extremist group were exchanged for the girls' freedom. On this episode of Global News' What happened to…?, Erica Vella speaks with Hannatu Stephens about the night of the abduction and what life was like after she was freed. Erica also speaks with experts to find out if Boko Haram is still a threat to those living in Nigeria.

In April 2013, in a distant corner of Nigeria, a terrorist group kidnapped some 300 schoolgirls, eventually igniting a global advocacy campaign that brought an unprecedented level of international attention to the country. This global attention, which involved interventions by Western intelligence agencies, military advisors, and a plethora of aid NGOs, has not necessarily always resulted in success. The Wall Street Journal reporter Drew Hinshaw, along with his co-author Joe Parkinson, has published a fascinating deep dive into this incident under the title "Bring Back Our Girls: The Untold Story of the Global Search for Nigeria's Missing Schoolgirls." Hinshaw and Parkinson write that the kidnapping of Chibok girls represented "not just a story about a remote tragedy-stricken town in Nigeria, but a parable and perhaps a cautionary tale about the flawed interconnected workings of our butterfly’s-wings world."

On today's Big Hard Facts: Seven years after Chibok abductions 110 girls taken in Dapchi, Yobe state. 279 girls kidnapped in Jangebe, Zamfara state, in February 2021; all freed, to name a few. Co-Founder, Bring Back Our Girls, Aisha Oyebode, is on Hard Facts with @aghoghooboh

You may have noticed a whole lot of very similar headlines in recent years about gunmen kidnapping schoolchildren in Nigeria, and you might recall Michelle Obama brought a lot of attention to the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, but what is really happening over there? Why are there so many kidnappings? Are they all connected? Why are the captors targeting schoolchildren? Aurora has answers for all of that and more.Another mass shooting? But we didn't even get a chance to mention the last major mass shooting! There have been more mass shootings than days so far this year in America. This week an assailant with a modified AR-15 terrorized the patrons of a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, claiming 10 victims including a responding police officer. Last week a shooter attacked three spas in the Atlanta area, killing 8 people, most of whom were women of Asian descent. Angelina tries to connect all the dots and sum up why U.S. gun laws need to change. Original music and audio production by Louis Levesque. JOIN THE MMNSTER COMMUNE:https://www.patreon.com/murdermurdernewshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/murdermurderCHECK OUT 'THIS WEEK IN TRUE CRIME' ON YOUTUBE  F O L L O W  U S ! ! !I N S T A G R A M -- @murdermurdernewsT W I T T E R --  @mmurdernewsF A C E B O O K -- https://www.facebook.com/mmntruecrime/T I K T O K -- @murdermurdernewsCheck out MurderMurder.news for the latest breaking true crime news!For business inquiries: murdermurdernews@gmail.comTo submit a  spooky story: https://murdermurder.news/story-submission-form/  ------------- LINKS + SOURCES:Nigeria Kidnapping Resources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hCFem9cUXohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8PdpgqPHu0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY8WKKaZykEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuBFqMDh1Q0https://www.africanews.com/2021/03/23/dozens-of-nigerians-protest-against-kidnapping-of-students/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56373690https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/14/africa/kidnapped-kaduna-nigeria-students-video-intl/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/12/africa/students-kidnapped-kaduna-nigeria-intl/index.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibok_schoolgirls_kidnappinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boko_Haramhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-43767490https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56212645#:~:text=Two%20daughters%20of%20Humaira%20Mustapha,kidnap%2Dfor%2Dransom%20crisis.https://www.sbmintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/202005_Nigeria-Kidnap.pdfMass Shooting Sources:https://www.coloradohealingfund.org/https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/NTU5ODY=https://www.commfound.org/blog/community-foundation-announces-boulder-county-crisis-fundhttps://www.gofundme.com/c/act/boulder-shooting-fundraisershttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/23/us/boulder-colorado-shooting-tuesday/index.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/us/boulder-shooting-what-we-know.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/23/us/boulder-colorado-shooting-suspect/index.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/22/us/atlanta-boulder-mass-shootings.amp.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03/23/guns-boulder-shooting-assault-weapons-ban/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/us/boulder-victims.htmlhttps://youtu.be/ikujTMetrUkAnti-Asian Violence Resources:https://anti-asianviolenceresources.carrd.co/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/murdermurdernews)

The crisis at the southern border continues as the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, defended the actions of the administration. He made clear that the border is closed, but the message is unlikely to reach the migrants headed their way to the U.S. There are currently over 5,000 unaccompanied minors at the border and overcrowding is becoming an issue. In other political news, Republican Attorneys General are suing the Biden administration on a range of issues and there were a number of protests and vigils over the weekend as people were calling for an end to anti-Asian violence. Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for more. Next, since December and increasingly in recent weeks we have seen mass abductions of students and teachers in Nigeria. Kidnappings for ransom have become a very lucrative industry there and comes almost seven years after the abductions of 276 girls which sparked the #BringBackOurGirls campaign on social media. While many quickly showed support online to find these girls, the rescue effort tooks years to pay off, and many girls are still missing. Drew Hinshaw, reporter at the WSJ and co-author of the new book "Bring Back Our Girls," joins us for how that social media campaign changed everything for years to come.

Some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram nearly seven years ago have obviously escaped from their captors, a father of one of the girls told CNN.In April 2014, members of the jihadist group Boko Haram attacked an all-girls boarding school in Chibok in the middle of the night and kidnapped 276 students . Some of the girls managed to escape on their own, while others were later rescued or freed following negotiations. According to ABC News, Emmanuel Ogebe, a Nigerian human rights lawyer who practices in the United States and has previously worked with some of the freed girls and their families, said a parent told him that his daughter and others have escaped their captors.“Mr. Ali Maiyanga's two daughters were part of the few Muslim schoolgirls taken with the majority Christian Chibok girls. Information currently available to us indicates that there are other escapees with the army whom parents are anxiously waiting to identify,” Ogebe said in a statement to ABC News late Thursday. “We spoke and confirmed from Mr. Ali Maiyanga moments ago that he in fact spoke with his daughter today, who informed him that she along with others were rescued. Her sister who escaped four years ago and is on school break was overjoyed at the news of her sibling's escape.”Lawal Zannah, secretary of the Chibok Parents Association whose daughter was among those abducted, also confirmed the news.“We heard that some of our girls have escaped from the forest, but we are yet to get the detail about their number,” Zannah told reporters Thursday evening.Another parent, Malam Madu Mutta, said the Chibok community is anxiously awaiting the girls' arrival.“We were told they are currently with the security operatives. We are yet to know the numbers, but we are happy that some of them escaped,” Mutta told reporters Friday. “So many other parents and relatives are coming from Chibok with hopes of meeting their daughters. Again, hope is risen that we can have some of them back again.”The kidnapping in Chibok shocked the world and led to the launch of a social media campaign in which millions of people around the globe, including high-profile political figures and celebrities, called for the girls' rescue by tweeting the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. However, there has been little political action.

With a special focus on how the viral #EndSARS hashtag has helped galvanize people to demand justice for the people of Nigeria, we talk with Chioma Agwuegbo, and discuss the state of unrest between the police and people all over the world. Whether it is chaperoning young, first-time women politicians, co-creating solutions for sexual and gender-based violence, or curating sessions on digital security, Chioma believes that technology not applied is not useful. Chioma's foray into advocacy began with the Light Up Nigeria Movement in 2008. Since then, she has functioned in leadership teams for campaigns such as Enough is Enough, Gen Voices, Occupy Nigeria, Bring Back Our Girls, Not Too Young To Run, and now, StateofEmergencyGBV.

In 2014, More than 200 Girls Were Kidnapped fromTheir School Dormitory in Chibok, Nigeria.More than 100 Remain Missing. The Poignant New Novel, Buried Beneath the Baobab Tree, isBased on the Chibok Abductions – An Event that Sparked aGlobal Campaign Involving Notable Activists Such asMichelle Obama and MalalaRic Speaks with Award-Winning Nigerian AuthorAdaobi Tricia NwaubaniIn the middle of the night on April 14, 2014, the terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped more than two hundred girls from their school dormitory in Chibok, Nigeria. The abduction of the “Chibok girls” received worldwide media coverage, sparking a global Bring Back Our Girls campaign involving celebrities from Michelle Obama to Malala. So far, 107 of the Chibok girls have been found, rescued, or freed in negotiations between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram. More than one hundred remain missing.Born, raised and residing in Nigeria, author Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani conducted countless interviews with the Chibok girls to write the poignant new novel, Buried Beneath the Baobab Tree. The book tells the story of a young Nigerian girl who dreams of a new pair of shoes, a university degree and a husband. But her dreams turn to nightmares when her village is attacked by the terrorist group Boko Haram. She is taken with other girls into the forest where she is forced to follow her captors' radical beliefs and watch as her best friend slowly accepts everything she's been told.In addition to those from Chibok, Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of girls across northeast Nigeria. According to Nwaubani, “I wanted to write a story that would enable the world to see these thousands of kidnapped girls not just as numbers, but as the curious, ambitious, and lovely daughters whom their families wanted to see again. I wanted the world to know how irreversibly their lives changed since the kidnappings and understand that this horror must never be allowed to happen again.”http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/adaobi.mp3 www.adaobitricia.com

Around the world, the crime became epitomized by the slogan #BringBackOurGirls -- but in Nigeria, government officials called the crime a hoax, confusing and delaying efforts to rescue the girls.
