As the campaign to trace more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Nigerian Islamists gathers pace, the Guardian uses a montage of photographs of women wearing red at demonstrations or posted on social media with the message "#BringBackOurGirls".
It says the hashtag has "mobilised the world", helping an online petition to attract 400,000 signatures and gaining support from politicians and celebrities such as Sean Penn, Hillary Clinton, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake.
The Times, which reports that SAS troops based in the Nigerian capital Abuja have switched focus to "evaluate the UK's capacity to help the rescue", focuses on the support for the cause of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl and girls' education campaigner who survived being shot by the Taliban.
The Daily Mirror reports the latest activities of the Boko Haram militants who, it says, "slaughtered" around 300 civilians during a 12-hour killing spree in the country's north-east.
"These sadistic monsters must be stopped," argues Max Hastings in the Daily Mail but he suggests that while Britain can provide military advice, things will only improve when the "kleptocrats" who rule "offer some portion of social justice" to the poorest. "Africa can be saved from itself only by Africans, not by heroes from Hereford," he adds.
