ABSTRACT
This chapter presents and discusses data relating to the motives of participation in Bring Back Our Girls of the various actors identified in Chapter 5. This chapter takes an intersectional approach that enables mappings of different identity clusters, and deep analysis of individuals’ motives for participation, drawing on the voices of diverse people who led or participated in Bring Back Our Girls protests in at least eight countries. The chapter reveals that in addition to some shared beliefs about what constituted moral action, participants were mostly influenced by subjective individual factors, including self and social identity/ies, religion, race, personal upbringing, and social embeddedness.
