The director of the group said: “We celebrate with the family of the found Chibok girl, and commend the effort of the Nigerian Army and the Civilian Joint Task Force for their efforts at ending insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria, the Nigerian government must intensify efforts and give them all required support to seek out the remaining girls.
“It is important for the government to strongly advocate against the stigma and discrimination women and girls face when they return. We also expect the Victims Support Fund of the Federal Government to be accountable and give report of how women and girls and their babies are being cared for.”
She added that the Boko Haram continues to remain a big threat to the safety of women and girls in Nigeria and it is important that all efforts are made to protect them and to allow “women and girls to live, free from fear.”
Amina Ali was found with her baby by the Civilian JTF on May 17, Tuesday, in the Sambisa forest, the notorious stronghold of the sect.
