BBC World Service - Weekend, Five years after Chibok

Five years after the kidnapping of the Chibok girls; transgender artists and the opera

Missing but not forgotten -- five years after the kidnapping of the Chibok girls in Nigeria, we hear from a prominent activist who says not enough is being done to secure the release of the 112 girls still missing.

Also in the programme: The first performance by transgender artists at the English National Opera.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Vaiju Naravane, Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Media Studies at Ashoka University in India; and Jef McAllister, Managing Partner at McAllister Olivarius, a London-based law firm.
