Abuja, Nigeria—A girl who was kidnapped along with about 300 others over two years ago celebrates on October 16 with her family after being released along with 20 other girls by Boko Haram. The mass abduction shocked the world and led to the campaign and hashtag “#Bring BackOur Girls.” Almost 200 girls remain in captivity; many are believed to have been taken as wives by the extremists and systematically raped, according to The Guardian.
