"You're a Boko Haram wife - don't come near us!" | UNICEF

By the age of 17 'Khadija' had been kidnapped and forced to marry a Boko Haram fighter. She was abducted in the Nigerian town of Banki while she was visiting her mother. Shortly after giving birth to a boy, the Nigerian military freed her from captivity along with many others. She is now in a displacement camp in Maiduguri but is battling stigma from fellow women who call her a "Boko Haram wife".
Two years after the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, children continue to suffer in the four countries affected by Boko Haram: #BringBackOurChildhood
