There is a tradition in Samburu Kenya, known as "beading", where older men rape young girls, some as young as 6 years old. A close relative will meet with the girl's parents and offer her a necklace intricately woven with bright beads of a man from the community, Once accepted, the chain will be placed around the child’s neck and the man is then able to start a sexual relationship with the girl. The widespread belief is that this will prevent girls from being promiscuous and wayward, an idea that is upheld and protected by the elders.  To go against it could ignite various superstitions, and will be seen as disrespecting the traditions of the local people.
