The hashtag has become a rallying cry of unity for millions of women and men fighting for the release of nearly 300 girls captured by Boko Haram.

In the 23 days since the girls first went missing, the hashtag has been shared over a million times.  Many prominent figures from Hillary Clinton, to Angelina Jolie and CNN's  Isha Sesay have joined the movement.
