Nigeria girls' abduction: Protest march in Abuja

Hundreds of mainly women protesters have marched through the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to press for the release of 230 schoolgirls abducted by militants two weeks ago...

...Organisers said about 500 people, most of them women dressed in red, braved heavy rain to march to the National Assembly to hand over a letter to complain that the government was not doing enough to secure the release of the girls.

...The protest, labelled the "million-woman march", had been called by the Women for Peace and Justice organisation.

March organiser Mercy Abang told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that the government should do whatever is necessary, even if it meant holding negotiations with the abductors, to make sure the girls returned home "alive - not in body bags". MORE

1. I read this story when it broke and I'm been so unbelievably enraged by it ever since.

I can't wrap my mind around an ideology that thinks it is morally upright to treat women and girls so lowly.

This is what evil looks like if such a thing exists.
