Cakes' mission is to help stop oppression and violence against women and girls. That task seems to be getting bigger by the day. Over a year since a group of schoolgirls were kidnapped from their Nigerian village by Boko Haram terrorists, hundreds are still missing. In an effort to keep attention focused on their safe return, the #DearSister initiative is asking people from around the world to write short messages of hope to be delivered to their families at the end of this month. I wrote one because I am a mother who cannot imagine the heartbreak of losing my own daughter, because I believe the life of every girl matters, and because I want the families of these girls to know their children have not been forgotten. One day soon, I hope the girls will read the letters themselves. I invite you to take a minute to write your own short message of support.
