Keys led a group of #BringBackOurGirls protesters and stormed the
Nigerian consulate in New York on Tuesday.
Carrying different placards and chanting 'When do we want them? Now!
Now! Alive!', the protesters raised awareness about the missing girls,
noting that their story is in danger of being forgotten.
Over 200 schoolgirls had been abducted by members of the Boko Haram
terrorist group on April 14and although some of the girls managed to
escape, most of them are still in captivity and their fates unknown.
Alicia Keys who was also celebrating her son's fourth birthday wrote
on her instagram: "On my lil guys birthday I stand with the mothers of
Chibok!!"
The pregnant star was also joined by her husband, Swizz Beatz.
"Today is my son's birthday and it is also making me stand in
solidarity with all the mothers of the Chibok girls who have been
abducted for six months and are still missing,' she said.
"It is just outrageous that that's going on
"Some people have even told me they've heard things about 'there's
been progress,' but there hasn't been progress because the girls
aren't back.'
"So I think that we get mixed information. We don't know, so we just
have to keep being made aware of what's happening," she said.
