ABUJA, Nigeria, May 19 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The rescue of one of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist group Boko Haram from a secondary school in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria two years has thrown global attention onto Amina Ali.
But what is known about the girl who was found two days ago near Damboa in Nigeria's northeast with a four-month-old daughter and a suspected Boko Haram fighter claiming to be her husband?
President Muhammadu Buhari vowed at a news conference on Thursday that Ali would continue her education and condemned the brutality of forced marriage.
Here are some facts about Ali, the first of the missing girls to be found, and about the health, education and rights of girls in Nigeria:
* Amina Ali was one of 13 children in her family of whom only three survived (Source: The Murtala Muhammed Foundation)
* Women on average give birth to six children (source: World Bank)
