More than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls who remain captives of Boko Haram militants “definitely” face the danger of being raped, the UN special representative on sexual violence in conflict has said.
“My worry is those girls don’t come back half of them pregnant,” said Zainab Hawa Bangura told a luncheon at the British Residence in New York. She was meeting with editors, Tina Brown and the British ambassador to the US in preparation for an unprecedented global summit next week in london on sexual violence in conflict. Angelina Jolie and British Foreign Secretary William Hague will co-chair.
