I heard a lot of yorubas do it..

The reason is to make their breasts bigger in future.
I don't know if it actually works that way

like seriously? never heard of it before but if this is actually true, then the congregations of world human right organizations should stand against this wicked, inhuman and barbaric practice.

Women dòn suffer...though some women abuse laws that accords them some undue privileges and shields them from abuse and harrassment ,but imagine what it would be without those laws!

Wahala dey oooooo

Lmao, girls suffering for the transgressions of MEN, again

Trying to prevent 'rape and other forms of sexual abuse?'

Why not iron the sexual abuser's pen1s instead though? HE'S the cause of the rape, not HER

Chai! When men hope it gets bigger, some are looking to make it disappear. Weird world

From what I could gather, this is a practice carried out mainly here in Africa that involves the use of instruments such as pestles, hot grinding stones, bananas, coconut shells, spatulas and coal-heated hammers to press, massage and crush the developing breast tissues of many young girls at the early stage of puberty.

This is done to prevent them from being attractive to males and hence prevent rape and other forms of sexual abuse.

This ‘culture’ is widespread in Cameroon and other African countries including Kenya, Benin and Ivory coast, and affects around 3.8 million teenagers overall according to the United Nations.

Breast ironing is usually performed by the victim’s mother on the basis that she is trying to protect the girl from sexual harassment and rape, to avert early pregnancy that would smear the family name, or to let the girl go after education instead of being forced into early marriage.

This practice is extremely painful and the girls are put at risk of tissue damage and cysts, malformed breasts, and in extreme cases it can cause one or both breasts to disappear.

There are worries that breast ironing has spread to the diaspora with an increase in the number of cases in Britain though charities, NGOs and human right groups are working to raise awareness concerning the problem.

You should also add premarital sex

Wicked.

Obviously those mothers have no confidence in their governments to protect their daughters from sexual molestation...

my people suffer for lack of knowledge.
wow!

The most terrorized groups of humans are females.

Women would unfortunately rather attack each other than attack men when problems come up due to men's randy natures.
Bear in mind that mothers are the ones doing the ironing.

I saw the documentary sometime ago. doesn't happen in naija though. I think Gambia and some other African Countries.
