The girl child still goes though a lot in in life in some of out communities.
This link http://youtu.be/XaMcO0Oox7M talks about the Samburu teenage girl who goes through a lot of pain and suffering to be considered a mature and tough woman i.e if she survives the ordeal. Those sharp enough leave their families and run to a nearby rescue centre many KMs away

In summary the girl is bead by a prospective moran man. The mother to the girl builds a house for her where the moran comes and they have unprotected sex with the girl who might or might not get pregnant. The moran then gives the mother 500/= for the act and leaves never to return. One who gets pregnant is sent to a midwife who presses down her belly so hard for her to procure an abortion. The moran only takes a cow to the mother of the girl as compenstation.

After this the process begins all over again...Sad Sad
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

EDUCATION..Educating the community, parents, boys and girls. Sensitizing them on the present day danger of unprotected sex, STIs, STDs, abortion, stress, depression. Isn't sleeping with a teenager considered rape??

The morans and other boys should be taught the advantage of using condoms and how to use them appropriately. Why exchange a cow worth 20k with a free condom that they are given by UN and other aid agencies??
