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.

this is unacceptable...its utterly degrading to the female gender....its injustice to the she-folks.

Hi, everyone. Just to make a couple of things clearer:

Breast ironing is practised in all parts of Cameroon,and has been reported in Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea-Conakry, Togo, Chad, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South-Africa. Some sources add Nigeria to the list but since i was young and now i am getting old, i have never heard of breast ironing being practised here. If you have, please let us know. If you are from any of the above countries apart from Cameroon and are sure your country is being falsely accused of this barbaric act, also please let us know.

In Britain, the act is being carried out on girls in west-African communities in Birmingham and London.

Your comments are appreciated. I have learned some things from them myself.
