WOMEN in Successful Careers (WISCAR), a not-for-profit organization that is committed
to mentoring young, aspiring career women, continues to plead for the
unconditional release of the school girls who were abducted and continue to be held by insurgents in Chibok, Borno
State.
A
statement issued by WISCAR states, "WISCAR shares in the widespread shock
and horror at the abduction of innocent school girls.
The
aim of WISCAR is to unleash the potential of womenfolk in Nigeria. WISCAR therefore laments that horrific
incidents such as these are capable of eroding the gains that the country has
recorded in the area of girl child education and empowerment of women.”
In
the statement, WISCAR also commends Governments, individuals and groups from
all over the world for the solidarity shown towards the girls and their
families. It stated that “In order for
the nation to develop to its’ full potential, the talent of women must be
unleashed. The global demonstration of
revulsion at this incident and the calls for the unconditional release of the
girls demonstrate a world united to protect basic values of humanity held dear
across national boundaries. WISCAR unreservedly lends its voice to these
heartfelt calls.
