Survivor of breast ironing Mick-Sophie Anne (left), 31, poses for a picture with her mother, Priscille Dissake, 46, and her daughter Grace, 2, in their house in Douala, Nov. 4, 2013.
Mick-Sophie had her breasts ironed by her mother at the age of 10. New government research shows that "breast ironing," where the breasts of young girls are flattened using a hot stone, has seen a 50 percent decline since it was first uncovered during a 2005 survey.
