Kirgistan: Beschneidung hilft dem Baby auf das Pferd

"The ritual circumcision of male babies has a symbolic meaning as the first ritual that distinguishes the roles of males and females in society. After undergoing this ritual, male babies are accepted as crucial components of the nomadic society, and can henceforth own horses. The ritual is supposed to symbolize the baby`s proper entry into the nomadic life, with the emphasis on the skillful handing of horses."
