BREAST IRONING

Nearly four million prepubescent girls in Cameroon undergo a body modification called breast ironing by their mothers and other female family members.

This is done by heating rocks or whatever else they have and beating or smashing the little girls developing breasts down in an attempt to get rid of the breasts. It is done because it is believed that it will prevent the girl from getting raped or marrying too young, and yes it is extremely painful and may lead to many health problems concerning the breasts.

I find this so disgusting that I am afraid to comment further for fear I offend anyone with my language and viewpoint on what should be done to stop this torture.
