A young Masai girl, 15 years old, recently excised. She wears the typical beads on her forehead during the healing time. Then she’ll marry a man normally chosen for her, usually much much older. The girl is reasonably lucky as the husband looked like only 30 years old and she seemed to really enjoy him. Things change…10 years ago these girls were considered impure while healing and in turn would be kept in he family huts. For the last 2 years I’ve seen quite many hanging around and not hiding, even asking me to shoot some pictures.
