The Current

On May 14, 2014, according to a Nigerian official, 300 girls were forcibly taken from their school in remote northeast Nigeria (pictured above is the mother of one of the missing girls.)

Hundreds of armed militants, riding in trucks and on motorcycles, herded the girls onto the trucks and sped away. These girls are between the ages of 15 – 18. 50 of those girls managed to escape. The trauma these girls have endured can only be imagined. The horrors that still await them, if they are not rescued, are unimaginable. Some of these girls have already been sold off to their kidnappers and forced to recant their faith and convert to Islam. The remainder of the girls will likely be sold as sex slaves to the highest bidder or victims of forced marriages (tantamount to being sold as a sex slave).

"I abducted your girls, I will sell them in the market" - Abubaker Shekau, leader of the militant group Boko Harem.
