Proceeding contribution from Philippa Whitford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on Violence against Women and Girls (Sustainable Development Goals).
Violence against Women and Girls (Sustainable Development Goals)
May I suggest that we add breast ironing to that list of harmful practices? People do not know much about it, but it tries to damage the young breast to stop it developing because of a misconception that the child will then not go through puberty and develop. It is incredibly destructive. People do not know about it, in the same way that we did not know about FGM.
