Hauwa, a Boko Haram survivor and #TooYoungToWed leadership scholarship recipient, receives English tutoring from our partners @idsnigeria in preparation for the @women_deliver conference this June! Stay tuned in the coming days as a new resolution on #BokoHaram is introduced in Congress. We appreciate your continued support as we work to empower girls and end child marriage together.

In 2017 I spent time with dozens of the recently released #Chibok schoolgirls who had been abducted by #BokoHaram militants back in 2014. Today marks the 5th anniversary of that mass abduction and there are still 112 of their sisters unaccounted for. This is a grave injustice and an indictment of our world where the injustices against some are more readily forgotten. We owe these families and the missing more than just our thoughts and prayers...they deserve our efforts for justice and accountability on their behalf... #nigeria

An 8-year-old #Nigerian #chess #prodigy is helping his family out of homelessness. #Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi, won the New York State #Scholastic Chess Championship last week, beating out more than 70 of the state’s top young chess players, all while living in a homeless shelter.
Tani, who was recently profiled in the #NewYorkTimes, and his family fled Nigeria in 2017, reportedly out of fear of being targeted by #BokoHaram. The family applied for #asylum, and have since been living in a New York #shelter.
Tani has been getting a lot of attention for his big win. A #GoFundMe page launched on March 15 with a goal of raising $50,000 to help Tani’s family “secure a home where he can continue his journey,” has raised more than $187,000. An attorney has also agreed to work on the family’s asylum case for free, CBS News reports.

#WhatsYourTwist ️⤵️
We are extremely worried over the alarming increase of attacks in southeastern Niger.
Locals and refugees have been affected in the region. In the month of March alone, some 88 civilians were reported dead in the escalation of violence.
We are dismayed to see the population’s suffering increase with each passing month since early 2019. The beginning of the year has brought a resurgence of violent attacks by Boko Haram, targeting security and defence forces as well as the civilian population in the region of Diffa, near the Nigerian border.
Since 2015, the number of people forcibly displaced within the Diffa region has risen to almost 250,000; almost half of them are refugees from Nigeria who had fled similar attacks and sought refuge across the border.
Recent attacks have displaced more than 18,000 people, many on the run for a second or third time, and many seeking safety in Diffa town.
We are working with the government of Niger and our humanitarian partners to assist the newly displaced. We are trying to immediately relocate some 10,000 refugees from locations close to the border to the Sayam Forage refugee camp, 45 kilometres away from the border. The camp already hosts more than 15,000 refugees.
