Hot rocks
Worried that her daughters' budding breasts would expose them to the risk of sexual harassment and even rape, their mother Philomene Moungang started 'ironing' the girls' bosoms with a heated stone. . .A new survey has revealed it is shockingly widespread in Cameroon, where one in four teen-agers are subjected to the traumatic process by relatives
This is a practice whose side effects include abcesses, infections and breast cancer.
Happily the survey has prompted a nationwide campaign to eradicate the practice.
I have one additional suggestion: How about hot-rock ironing the genitalia of the rapists instead?
