Their fate includes stories from girls who escape from being forced into marriage to fighters, being used as suicide bombers – and being coerced or brainwashed into participating in Boko Haram battles and in the torture or kill of prisoners, the BBC has reported.

Seventeen-year-old Miriam, a ex- captive of Boko Haram, said she was forced to marry a militant and is now pregnant with his child, according to Express.

Al Hussein pressed further that it had already become clear that the violations committed by Boko Haram were extensive and far-reaching, demanding a response of commensurate magnitude. “We are more scared of the wives than the husbands”.

“The abduction and brutalisation of young women and girls seems to be part of the modus operandi of Boko Haram“, Netsanet Belay, Africa director, research and advocacy at Amnesty worldwide told the BBC.

“They shared the girls out as teachers to teach different groups of women and girls to recite the Koran”.

“I note that abortion is legal in Nigeria only when the life of the woman is at risk”, he said. “But if it did occur we would not be surprised”, she told the BBC.

“Young girls who could not recite were being flogged by the Chibok girls”. Some are, they claimed, executing people themselves.

The High Commissioner also said that “Member States, donors and the United Nations Country Teams can and should begin focusing programmes to meet the needs of the people of the sub-region – to fix the damage caused by Boko Haram, and to ensure that such a movement can never again take hold”, Zeid concluded.
