We do not want Little Girls having Breast – Breast Ironing in Cameroon
Hi all,
the question you will read in the end of this video text I think is the crucial one when it is about breast flattening in Cameroon.
The RAPE is the WHY… and the small deduction that women are raped because of their big breasts.
Women are raped because MEN who have no respect rape them.
Women are raped because MEN are not educated to respect their dignity.
The best weapon to protect women is to educate men to respect them.
If I have to flat my daughter’s breast because I am convinced that this is the only way to protect her, this is not my fault, but a social disaster, a social error, a social violation against women.
Women can be protected if there is education and law.
And this is what we urgently need for all the society in Cameroun.

months of constant pain to delay the natural course of adolescence and what
makes some girls want their breasts ironed so much that they even do it
