    Should the freed Chibok girls avoid stigma by going to the US or would they be better off staying in Nigeria? http://bbc.in/2eQ456C pic.twitter.com/fet5wmiVyr

        The more sustainable response is to change social attitudes towards the victims and their children in Nigeria.

        The US is not a Haven. The rampant racism isn't what they need.

        They should each choose what is best for them, individually. They are more than just 'Chibok girls' -- use their names.
