The 63-page report, titled "Those Terrible Weeks in Their Camp': Boko Haram Violence against Women and Girls in Northeast Nigeria," includes interviews with 30 individuals who were abducted by Boko Haram between April 2013 and April 2014, and 16 others who witnessed the abductions.
Twelve of the women interviewed were some of the students of the Chibok School who escaped from Boko Haram custody after 276 girls were abducted this year on April 14-15.

"When one of the girls, a 17-year-old farmer, complained to a Boko Haram commander that they were too young for marriage, he pointed at his 5-year-old daughter and said: "If she got married last year, and is just waiting till puberty for its consummation, how can you at your age be too young to marry?"
