Urging people around the world to demand urgent action for the release of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terror group, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has said that she will not forget her sisters.

According to ABC News, Malala, on the 300th day of the girls' captivity, wrote in a statement that "we cannot forget them".

Malala had visited Abuja Nigera last year in July on her 17th birthday to meet the girls who escaped during the kidnapping attempt.

The education activist had also met Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan who vowed to bring the girls back as soon as possible.

The Malala Fund is currently funding many programs in Nigeria that support education for young girls in poor communities.
