World stands in solidarity for missing girls in Nigeria
On April 14, 276 schoolgirls were abducted in the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibook, with eight more seized from Warabe on May 5. Three weeks later 223 girls are still missing. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram claimed responsibility, and threatened to "sell" the girls into slavery. The abductions have sparked offers of help from the United States, Britain, France and China.
People from all over the world are showing their support by holding rallies and protesting.
