These women have everything stacked against them. It is this last point that allows for us to seek a way of understanding and conceive of a hope of liberation in such dire contexts. And most importantly these kidnapped women are daughters of God. These kidnapped women have rights and dignity. Boko Haram, the insurgent group responsible, has shown no hope of mercy and the government of their land has shown no sincere efforts to help the Nigerians who were kidnapped.īut throughout all of this we must remember. They were taken from their school against their will to be captives and slaves even. It’s been over 120 days since they were taken. Our Nigerian sisters have been kept away from their homes since April.
