On the night of April 14, 2014, a group of militants attacked the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria. They kidnapped 276 female students, ranging from ages 15 to 19 years. An armed group called Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.

Boko Haram had been launching attacks against the Nigerian government since its formation in 2010, but the scale and audacity of the 2014 assault created international headlines and brought this once-obscure group to the world’s attention.
