Alternative Rites of Passage for Maasai Girls

Lisa Meadowcroft: Coming of Age: Alternative Rites of Passage for Maasai Girls
"The Maasai themselves designed the alternative rite of passage to traditional circumcision. The girls participate in a three-day long session about sex education, self-confidence and human rights, a critical part of the ritual as it promotes the girls' feelings of self-worth in view of their lower status compared to boys. In addition, girls are encouraged to continue with school and the elders, mothers and fathers, to invest in the girls."
