Nearly a month since more than 200 hundred girls were abducted in Nigeria, GAMCOTRAP and Child protection alliance (CPA), have condemn the act of Boko Haram, a Islamist militias based in the country.
GAMCOTRAP, a women’s right NGO working in the area
of girls/women and CPA said in a joint statement “we condemn this atrocity.”
Boko haram attacked and captured 200 plus Nigerian
girls in April, action that have been condemn from all corners of the world.
“We express
our deepest sympathy to the families of these girls and the entire Nigerian
nation for this unholy, unacceptable and disgraceful act,” the release stated. “We
call on the whole world to Rise Up against these atrocities.”
Despite condemnation, the leader of Boko Haram said he
I will sell the girls.
“This is a serious bridge of the principles to which
Islam is founded upon. Islam respects the dignity of the person, especially women,
and is clearly stipulated in the holy Koran in various verses underscoring the
respect and dignity of the woman.”
