On April 16, 234 girls between the ages of 16 and 18 were kidnapped from their school in Chibok, Nigeria during the night as they prepared for their final exams. Most are still missing.
Though no group has claimed responsibility, the Boko Haram jihadist network is believed to be behind it. The group’s name translates to “Western education is forbidden” and seeks to destroy anything that does not agree with strict interpretation of Islamic texts, such as the idea of a spherical Earth, evolution, or the water cycle. Education of women is also forbidden. They have a history of violence in the area and have killed more than 1,500 people already this year in a series of attacks against schools, mosques, villages, military installations, and public areas.

Contact your representatives
either the UN representatives in your country (you could helpfully remind them that this breaks all sorts of those UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS) or your senators or politicians or equivalent or your foreign affairs office.
All people including females have the right to an education, to learn how to read and write and no-one, has the right to forbid this. The men responsible for these crimes are nothing more than misogynist, hate filled miscreants with the mental capacity of a slugworm who use their religion and twist it to suit themselves. They should be made an example of - a public lashing and 20 years of solitary confinement wouldn't be a bad idea for these disgraceful excuses for human beings.
An unidentified mother cries out during a demonstration with others who have daughters among the kidnapped school girls of government secondary school Chibok, Tuesday April 29, 2014, in Abuja, Nigeria. Two weeks after Islamic extremists stormed a remote boarding school in northeast Nigeria, more than 200 girls and young women remain missing despite a “hot pursuit” by security forces and desperate parents heading into a dangerous forest in search of their daughters. Some dozens have managed to escape their captors, jumping from the back of an open truck or escaping into the bush from a forest hideout, although the exact number of escapees is unclear.
