boko haram

A devastating thing has happened in Nigeria: More than 270 girls were abducted from their school in northern Nigeria by the terrorist group Boko Haram. It was only after everyday people led a huge campaign to draw attention to the missing girls that the media and world leaders sat up and started listening.

Listen to Nigerian movie star Stella Damasus explain the issue, and hear her challenge the Nigerian government and world leaders to #BringBackOurGirls.
