hamer woman in turmi / ethiopia
The Hamer women are whipped on their bare backs, resulting in open wounds and later scars. they even put "dirt" into the wounds to make the scars later look big. This hamer tribe tradition tends to reinforce family ties as the sister or female relative of the man who participated in the man’s bull-jumping ceremony will be cared for in times of need by that individual. Officialy this pratice is not allowed anymore, but the women are willing participants and are even eager to participate in the ceremony.
