On April 14th, 2014, 270+ school girls were kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram Terrorists in Nigeria. Approximately 230 are still missing.

Please join us for a quiet gathering on April 13th from 4:00-6:00 pm at Glen Mitchell Memorial Park in McKinney. We are asking for:

• justice for these girls and their families
• violence to end around the world
• safety for all women and girls who want to attend school.

Bring Back Our Girls is dedicated to giving individuals tools to help raise awareness and to activate our governments so they will rescue the girls in Nigeria and protect schoolgirls across the world. Educated girls will share that education with their brothers and sisters, impacting their communities and breaking the cycle of poverty. Removing barriers such as early marriage, gender-based violence, domestic slavery, and sex trafficking means not only a better life for girls, but a safer, healthier and more prosperous world for all.

We can change the world together. Oppression can only exist in the dark – where people are unable or afraid to speak up. A moment like this makes us realize that each voice has power.

As we socialize the message that girls matter — that a world where girls thrive is a world where everyone thrives — repression becomes more difficult. And then it becomes impossible. Educating girls around the world is essential.
