Continent of Gigantic Problemsin the country. The U.S. State Department, in a report from 2010, states that “many girls”in Cameroon suffered breast ironing and in some cases the practice led to serious burns,deformities and mental health problems.What happened in Cameroon? Physicians assume that improvements in nutritioncaused earlier onset of puberty among Cameroonian girls. The risk is that these girlsbecame pregnant prematurely, before they are educated about human reproduction andcontraception, in a society which does not respect a woman’s right to decide about her ownbody. Mothers wanting their daughters to finish school first and them become mothersturn to this drastic—and of course inefficient—method of preventing of unwanted pregnancies.Well—what can a rational person think about preaching to the very same mothersabout the sinfulness of condoms, sexual education and modern contraception.I am certainly far from being the only one who considers it much more human andresponsible to prevent and avoid the births of children which cannot be fed and to givechildren a decent chance for a dignified life, rather than perpetually giving birth which islike a treadmill leading to poverty, malnutrition, suffering and often premature death.35
