There are a few barbaric rituals and practices that people have been following since centuries. Even though most of these rituals and traditions are known to have evolved for their existence, there are those who are still being blindly followed.

The Practice Was Started In Africa
Countries like Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau, Chad and Togo were famous for this practice. Since there were several immigrants, who fled from Africa and flocked the UK, they are believed to have been stuck to their traditions and rituals which also included this horrific practice.
Experts Label This Practice As Child Abuse
According to experts, practising this ritual will not only have a psychological impact on the young girls, it will also scar the girl's lives as they would be scared to breastfeed their babies at later stages. Apart from this, there are numerous chances of these girls to be affected by various breast-related infections.
No Official Data About The Practice Has Been Revealed
Even though there is no official data about the practice that has been revealed, reports claim that more than a thousand girls have undergone the practice in North UK alone. A nurse claimed that she treated a 10-year-old girl who was a victim of this practice.
