9 years? Dreadful. Their poor families.

Thank you for making this post. I think about these girls all the time.

Thanks for the link to the article

9 years of torture for the young women and their families.
They must not be forgotten.
Thank you for the link.

I think of them too x

I will never forget. Those poor girls.

Often think of them

Thank you for reminding everyone. The statues are haunting and forceful.

Those poor little girls who had been
preparing their futures and about to take their exams 😭

Yet another femicide.

I can't believe it's been so long! Those poor girls.

💔
Never forgotten
Thinking too of their families

I'm shocked. Not that it happened. Or that they are still gone. Neither of those things shock me in this world of terrible things done to women in the name of MANkind.

But I'm shocked it's been 9 years. It hardly, to me feels like any time has passed at all. Yet for them it will have been an eternity that is never ending.

I hope they finally make it home to their families one day.

Thank you for the reminder. So many of them still missing.

94 still missing from 275 kidnapped and all of them supposedly "married" to extremists and with children. It is horrific to think of. Those poor girls.

I think that message that 'it was those who lost hope who got married' is one of the saddest sentences I've ever read.

Thinking of the girls, now women.

MANkind.

I don’t think they are mankind. That use of man means all humans.

They are cruel, aberrant, dillusioned men.

I remember this. I wrote to various authorities at the time, of course to no avail. It is horrible. I hope they will be freed one day, or at least find peace.

A very short film clip here on the sculpture project mentioned in the article:

Thank you very much, ArabellaScott.
That is an extraordinary and moving art project for remembering the girls, especially when you think of how Nigerian sculpted heads are among the most exalted in all art through all time.

Ah, sorry, there is a longer film - here

I often think of those poor girls. Thank you for the thread.

@ArabellaScott that was a sad but rather beautiful short film to watch.. Thanks I'd not have seen it otherwise.

It was so awful and still is

It's a beautifully made, and very moving film.

Such a powerful film and such awful events.
