Our Voices 613 Breast Ironing: Cultural Practices Affecting Young Girls
On this week’s edition of Our Voices, we discuss breast ironing, a form of female genital mutilation, FGM, which is commonly practiced in Africa. This is when the breasts of young girls are flattened to deter unwanted male attention. Guests on the show include, Chi Yvonne Leina, a Cameroonian women’s rights advocate and Margaret Nyuydzewira, a survivor of breast ironing and the founder of CAME Women and Girls Development Organization.
