Mary

Mary is a 13 year old girl living with her mother Hannatu and her nine siblings in a makeshift home in Maiduguri. Her family originated from Cameroon but moved to Baga, Nigeria when she was only a year old and has never returned back. She was 10 years old when her village was attacked by Boko Haram and ended up being captured by them. She spent an entire month under their captivity where she was often beaten. She was lucky enough to escape with the help of another woman and later reunited with her family in Maiduguri.
