Demand the Rescue of Kidnapped Nigerian Girls: Sign the Petition -

action alert!

Four weeks ago, more than 230 Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped by terrorists. They are in grave danger — and we cannot rest until they have been brought safely home.

Keep up the Global Pressure:
Bring Back Our Girls!

A month has passed since more than 200 Nigerian girls were kidnapped at dawn from their school. The Nigerian government and some other nations have paid lip service to finding the girls, but they are still missing. This is a crisis and global leadership must treat it as such.

These girls are in grave danger. The Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram has admitted to kidnapping them, and the group’s leader has threatened to sell the girls into slavery or forced marriage, where they will almost certainly be raped or even killed.

“I will marry off a woman at the age of 12,” the leader said on video. “I will marry off a girl at the age of nine.”

Although the Nigerian government has finally acknowledged the emergency, it has been criminally slow to take action. Activists who demanded answers about the girls were detained by police, and the Nigerian First Lady even claimed the whole thing had been a conspiracy.

But other nations aren’t innocent, either. Western media outlets willfully ignored the story until online activists pressured them to cover it.

These young women have done nothing wrong. Their only “mistake” was trying to go to school to further their education. We’ve let them down, and we have to make amends while we still can.

Sign the petition asking the Nigerian, U.S. and other governments to step up their efforts to find the girls and return them to their families, before it’s too late.
