A University of Auckland student is behind an Auckland rally next week in support of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
The global social media campaign calls for the return of 276 school girls who were abducted last month in Nigeria by Boko Harem rebels.
Rallies have been held around the world to draw attention to the girls' plight.
In New Zealand events have been held in Wellington and Christchurch but the absence of a rally in Auckland prompted student Lydia Hollister-Jones to organise a march on Auckland's Queen St on May 20.
"You can't just sit there and wait for someone else to do it."
