I cannot imagine having your child kidnapped from school and sold for about $12 each. Do not let their dreams die around the world. Listen to Pardis Sabeti sing, "Around the World".
"It has been over 2 years since nearly 300 schoolgirls were abducted in Chibok, Nigeria.
Obiageli Ezekwesili, who created #BringBackOurGirls, is calling on women and men around the world to continue to raise their voices for the Chibok girls and the many millions more who have disappeared. Because ‘if we let them fall, one day they will take us all’. But together we can take back our girls.
‘Around the World’ is written and performed by Pardis Sabeti and Bob Katsiaficas, and features a powerful speech by Obiageli Ezekwesili as well as vocalist Philomena Ehiane. The video is directed by Adio Ash in conjunction with Nollywood Workshops and produced by Adio and Aimee Corrigan, with footage directed and produced by Uzodinma Okpechi and Bond Emeruwa. The effort has been completed with the support of the UN Women, Girl Rising, TIME Magazine, Women in the World, the School at Columbia University, and beyond, and features Nigerian film stars Kate Henshaw, Bimbo Akintola, and Hadiza "Gabon" Aliyu.
