In India, vigils making common cause with the Chibok girls were led by Bachpan Bachao Andolan, which every day rescues children from trafficking and slave labor. Girls Not Brides mobilized in 45 countries, reminding its 145 sister organizations around the world that many of the Chibok girls will meet the same fate as the girls they seek to protect.

Now, the Global March Against Child Labor and A World at School have come together to support the UpForSchool petition, which links the universal provision of education to ending child exploitation. Over the next several months, youth groups in 190 countries will be collecting, it is hoped, a record number of signatures.
