DD Abducted

200 Nigerian girls aged between 16 and 18 have been abducted. It is likely they will be used as slaves or "married" to the abductors.

It is 2014 and women are still being used in conflict in the most horrific way.

It distresses me that 200 DDs can be taken and nothing is or can be done to bring them back to their families.

I guess I am experiencing the heart in mouth shock at such a distressing article. Sadly I will have forgotten it in a few weeks time as it is mixed in with the melee of other activity in my life but those mums and DDs will never forget or possibly never be reunited.

If ever mums needed support those mums do x

Yes it happened a couple of weeks ago. Mainstream media have only just deigned to cover it.

Its just awful. Imagine how their parents are feeling. There are possibly further developments here. So basically these girls have been kidnapped so that men can have unfettered access to there bodies and rape them with impunity. That's male violence for you. Sad

The mums marched today. How awful to be able to take no action to find your DD other than a march :(

This happened a while ago didn't it? I heard about it on the news at least a week ago if not two.
It is awful. It's because of the remote and unstable place where they live.
They are hunting for them I believe.

Its 230 girls. I picked it up from BBC news website earlier today. I've done a search for a discussion thread on this topic but can find none. If there is one please point me.
