What is happening in Nigeria with these girls who have been kidnapped by Boko Haram is heartbreaking. Despite many managing to escape, over 200 girls are still reported to be missing. I find it disgraceful that even in the 21st century people can get away with 'owning' and 'selling' others.
After celebrating Liberation Day yesterday for Guernsey, it makes me truly thankful for the freedom we have in the western world. However with our freedom comes a responsibility to help others who are less fortunate, living in countries of unrest and danger.
We can also forget how lucky we are that we have equality, the idea of education for women in Nigeria was enough for Boko Haram to kidnap hundreds of girls despite it being a basic human right.
My heart goes out to all the families who have no idea where their little girls are...
