At the refugee camp, Ya Ta is surrounded by international charities of all kinds, including the Red Cross, Believers’ LoveWorld, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Amnesty International, and many more, as well as various Nigerian organizations like the State Emergency Management Agency. Ya Ta is surprised by how many white people are there and wonders why they are concerned with her or anyone like her. As she is treated and given a blanket, Ya Ta cannot help but think of her husband’s voice threatening to find her. Everywhere she looks, she worries he will be there. The medical test determines that Ya Ta is pregnant, and at first, she worries about her child growing up to be like her husband, but it then occurs to her that beliefs are not genetic, and she no longer has this fear. Ya Ta remembers her education and her family, as well as her religion and the definition of democracy. When the familiar pink van arrives to supply the girls and women with pads, Ya Ta takes some and is instantly reminded of her school days.
An American woman and a man from the Bring Back Our Girls organization interview Ya Ta to find out the details of her experience.
