On April 16, 2014 over 250 Nigerian schoolgirls were abducted from their school in Chibok, Nigeria. The group behind the kidnapping and subsequent selling and force marriage of the girls was the notorious Boko Haram. The outcry of this deplorable act was intensified within social media using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. We here at R3 thought we would collect stories, essays and opinions on this terrible tragedy.
