Petition against breast ironing in Cameroon...


In a desperate attempt to prevent sexual assault and teen pregnancy, Cameroonian mothers are literally ironing their daughters' breasts with hot stones to make them less attractive.

Breast ironing is not an acceptable form of pregnancy prevention or a replacement for sex education.

The ritual affects a quarter of all women in Cameroon and as soon as they show signs of puberty, sometimes as young as nine. The girls cry as they're held down and scalding hot stones are pressed onto their breasts. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Breast ironing in Cameroon. WTF!
  2. Girls in the Cameroon get their breasts ironed to make them less attractive...
  3. Female genital mutilation (FGM) in Africa (graphic)
  4. Labiaplasty, deforming the vagina... (Graphic)
  5. I hate my large breasts...
