How to Correctly Prevent Children's Early Sexual Behavior by Using Stones to Flatten the Daughter's Chest with Mothers
In the Cameroon region, mothers attack the bad habits of society and use stones to iron their daughters' breasts to prevent premature sexual activity, causing significant physical and mental damage to their children. In addition, this barbaric violation of human rights by mothers who burn their daughters' breasts with stones has also occurred in other parts of West Africa. Nowadays, premature sexual behavior among minors is quite common, and the main problem is that families do not provide effective sex education to their children. In order to prevent premature sexual behavior, correct guidance and education methods should be adopted, and cruel methods cannot be chosen.
Mothers iron their daughters' breasts with stones to prevent early sexual activity
Mothers in Cameroon, western Africa, have attacked the bad habits of society by using ironing stones to iron their daughters' breasts in order to hide their adolescence. This not only harms the body, but also leaves an indelible anger in their daughters' hearts. These mothers take drastic measures to prevent their daughters from engaging in sexual activity too early or dropping out of school during pregnancy, resulting in delayed breast development.
Raissa Nana, who is 31 years old this year, has been pressed onto the bed by her aunt every night since she was 11 years old. Her mother uses stones cooked in water to iron her breasts, which is still vivid in her memory. Anger in adulthood replaced fear at the time, she said. After becoming a true flat chested woman, she cannot forget the humiliation she suffered when she was young.
Similar situations have occurred not only in Cameroon, but also in many countries in West Africa, such as Chad and Nigeria. The Cameroonian government has called on people to stop committing such barbaric and human rights violations, but the results have been limited. The National Women's Network, established in recent years, currently has over 10000 female members dedicated to assisting young girls in avoiding the same fate. With strong promotion and popularization, the proportion of successfully ironing young women's breasts in Cameroon has decreased from 25% in 2006 to 12% now, with encouraging results.
