The creation of this hashtag has created international awareness and united the movement to save and bring home the girls. One organizer reported that the hashtag has been tweeted more than 3 million times. Hashtags can play an important part in spreading news around the world and usually cause some type of response. The United States announced that they were deploying a 200-person military enforcement delegation to help in the search. Some of the girls have escaped but around 200 are still missing. #bringbackourgirls continues to be used around the world as the campaign to save the girls grows larger.

Since society relies on social media so greatly I believe the creation of this hashtag was a great idea to provide awareness to the world! Hopefully in the near future we will be able to find these missing girls.
