#Malala stands in solidarity with Nigerians & people around the world calling for action to#BringBackOurGirls###
I hope Americans appreciate the ferocity and dedication with which these girls pursue education and how hard their parents work to provide it only to lose them this way. We take our educational opportunities for granted too easily and often.
These students are like girls in any country where education for anybody is at a premium and where the girls are the last in line. They know they are privileged to be in school, live up to that privilege very seriously, and always know their stuff.
They are very goal-oriented. Being the child bride of thugs is not among their objectives. They are planning to study medicine, international studies, law, education, nursing, business and marketing, etc.
They are so far out of their environment right now. This is so alien to them. We need to make a lot of noise about this – make people aware.
Media coverage has been paltry. These are not passengers on a long-missing airliner (covered) or children known dead on a ferry (covered). They are alive, in danger, and need to be rescued. This needs much better media coverage.
Raise your voice, please. Inform. Participate and follow.
