I had an assignment on women in the country of Niger and I read about birth defects in babies because of chemicals in skin bleach. Skin cancer is quickly increasing all over subsaharan africa.

Think about it, the bleaching crisis is new. They use harsh and illegal chemicals to lighten their skin. I feel Like we’re gonna have a skin cancer crisis in the incoming decades. They don’t stop while their pregnant either, which can cause birth defects and brain damage to the fetus. Instead of getting smarter, we’re gonna get more handicapped. Get ready for more birth defects and cancer.
:snoop:
 
The importation of such products needs to be prohibited. However inefficient the law would be, you would see a drastic reduction in such cases. What is needed is a coordinated and effective awareness-spreading campaign.

I already see purple cheeks in Somali women on social media. Almost every middle aged Somali in homeland have this cheek that make you feel like these women are abused right before they take their phones and post their faces. Our future Somali children will be retarded for real.

Sadly, they would probably go underground as though it were the prohibition era. Or experiment with their own toxic chemical brews. :cosbyhmm:There might be a business opportunity for products that are affordable, locally made and less health injurious to consumers. It's either that or teach them that certain hues are advantageous in that climate. Social attitudes must change for it to fall out of favour. Since they don't appear to care about the long-term health implications of mercury laced Diana.​

Arrest the Importers. Ban the products, send out the police to detain anyone caught using the product. Then make an example out of them take all of them and force them to throw the products in a pit that they themselves dig and then bury them for good.

Make a spectacle out of all of them and IF they do go underground. 5 weeks of hard labor.

Bleached skin looks disgusting I don't know why it's a thing and longer term usage ruins and ages the skin making it look extra hideous. It need to be banned who even decided in the first place that this should be our beauty standard especially back home.

A 10/10 individual of any skin tone is still a 10/10 why ruin your skin and make yourself look uglier with bleaching

Interesting you brought up prohibition; the data shows that mortality rates related to alcoholic consumption reduced considerably during the prohibition era. It was successful despite what modern White alcoholics try to rationalize.

Very few would opt for a more damaging concoction, and those would be impactful deterrent cases for people that will have social influence. Or, some people would choose a less harmful route, as you mentioned. Either way, you need a social campaign, but they got to ban skin-damaging products.

The import of such unsafe chemical products in many countries is not allowed. This is a public safety consumption issue, not just a social one. It is very effective on a macro scale, and then you have other social processes that will convince people to look at the issue differently.

No. This is the measure we should take.

Though the temperance movement was good for them an cadaan and his Smirnoff Ice are difficult to part. Russians in particular need the most help as their nation is rife with gender-based violence of which spirits are often at the centre with frequent drinkers being the most likely to offend.​

I'm with you with the banning of these skin damaging products. Sadly, there is no regulatory body so zero oversight. I'd love it to be so.

There is a reason why somalis have relatively alot of mentally challenged kids in the diaspora. What makes it worse is the low vitamin d. Killer combination, no wonder we have a lot of autistic kids.

Luckily most somalis back home are rural amd from what I have seen on videos they have not bleached. Many women in the cities also don’t bleach, unfortunately because they cannot afford it.

Bleaching imo is a sign of high economic status. Suugo science but only upper class somalis back home bleach and they do not constitute the majority of our people. Whats harmful is people like to copy rich people and in the future bleaching will affect most women. Somali government needs to act fast and ban the importation of bleaching products.
