Upskirting and Breast Ironing

Upskirting is the act of taking a photo or video under someone’s clothing without their consent, typically to capture an image of their underwear or private areas. It’s a violation of privacy and is considered a criminal offense in many places, including the UK. It’s important to respect others’ boundaries and privacy at all times.

Breast ironing, also known as breast flattening, is a harmful practice where young girls’ breasts are massaged, pounded, or pressed down using hard or heated objects to delay their development. This is often done by female relatives who believe they are protecting the girl from sexual harassment, rape, or early pregnancy. The practice can cause severe physical and psychological harm, including tissue damage, infections, and even the complete disappearance of one or both breasts. It’s considered a form of child abuse and is illegal in many places.
