MEMBERS OF CONGRESS GO TO NIGERIAN EMBASSY TO MEET WITH OFFICIALS AND TO STAND IN UNITY FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF THE KIDNAPPED WOMEN AND GIRLS IN NIGERIA

The members of Boko Haram are thugs and must be brought to justice. This outrageous conduct cannot be tolerated or overlooked. Not only is it a violation of the girls’ human rights -- it is also contrary to United States policy supporting and promoting equal access to education and economic opportunity for women and girls.
