The most common practice in initiation ceremonies is circumcision or other ge***al procedures. In our country, circumcision is one of the practices related to boys and symbolizing the first step of the boy towards becoming an adult. Circumcision; It is of great religious significance in various traditional societies around the world, as well as among Muslims, Jews, and some Christians.
In our country, circumcision is used as a social status indicator as well as fulfilling a religious tradition. The practices ensure that the patriarchal order is adopted for boys at a young age. The child, for whom a magnificent ceremony is prepared because he is circumcised, is taught that this celebration was done because he took the first step towards manhood.
Contrary to the ceremonies of transition to the menstrual period in women, it continues in a way that is hidden and shameful even among family members. With the pressure this situation creates on women, women become alienated even from their own body. This work is a reference to the initiation ceremonies of men as well as women's transition to the menstrual period.
