Around the world on Tuesday protesters were vowing to remember the lost girls that were taken by Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram a year ago.
A procession was held in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, with 219 girls representing each missing girl.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the world, “must never forget the kidnapped Chibok girls.”
Women demonstrating in Abuja sang songs and wore t-shirts with the words #365DaysOn and #NeverToBeForgotten.
Boko Haram said all the girls who were kidnapped have been converted to Islam and have been married off.
