But not before the OP got called an "Islamophobe" for asking some of your same questions....

The lack of response is heartbreaking. Its a culture of misogyny that really does not value girls or women. Paired with these girls' educational aspirations and the silence from so many quarters about their fate is pretty deafening.

The US and the UK are finally starting to get involved but they are many days late. Where are the other nations' help?
