Amnesty International has released a report highlighting the plight of girls and young women in north-east Nigeria who have been abducted by Boko Haram. Over a thousand girls have endured forced marriage, enslavement, and sexual violence. The report documents that those who escaped captivity are now facing further suffering, including inadequate support, sometimes unlawful military detention, and encountering 'Surrendered Husbands' in government camps. Authorities in Nigeria are being criticized for failing to provide the necessary specialized support to help these survivors rebuild their lives.
