It's 1 year, six months since our 276 #ChibokGirls were abducted. Many other Nigerian citizens were abducted before and after them. 57 of our girls escaped. Several hundred women, girls and children were rescued. 219 of our #ChibokGirls remain in captivity.

In the year and a half, #BringBackOurGirlsNYC had an international conference, information sessions, and many rallies for our girls. Most were in NYC. We also joined members of the movement in Washington, DC, and in Nigeria. Some of the pictures are below.
Above are photos from Washington, DC. We joined Omolola Adele-Oso and Act4Accountability in rallying at a dinner in honor of President Goodluck Jonathan, to remind him and the guests that our girls were still in captivity.
