It has been a little over a decade since 270 female students were kidnapped from a school in Chibok, Nigeria by the extremist armed group Boko Haram. While, many of the girls escaped, were rescued or were released in exchanges, many others remain missing or feared dead.
Around 90 of the girls have not been brought back and more than 30 parents have died while hoping for their children’s return. Since the Chibok abduction, more than 1,680 schoolchildren have been kidnapped in Nigeria.
The mass kidnapping shocked many around the world, and spurred efforts to raise awareness with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls coming to symbolize public outrage.
