==Initiation of girls in Africa==

Sexual ‘cleansing’ is ceremony where a girl has sex as a cleansing ritual following the first menstruation, known in some regions of Malawi as kusasa fumbi, meaning "brushing off the dust".<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36843769 Ed Butler (21 July 2016).

African Journal of Reproductive Health. 11 (3): 150–67.]</ref> This is also sometimes performed after an abortion. In Malawi, the practice of sexual cleansing is largely confined to Salima, Chikwawa, and Nsanje District. It is also practiced in parts of Zambia, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Angola, Ivory Coast, and Congo.<ref>[https://guardian.ng/life/kusasa-fumbi-the-sexual-rite-of-passage/ "Kusasa Fumbi – The Sexual Rite Of Passage". The Guardian. 2 February 2020.]</ref>

===Training===

Prepubescent girls are often sent to a training camp where women known as anamkungwi or "key leaders" teach how to cook, clean and have sex to be a wife.<ref>[https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/01/confronting-a-sexual-rite-of-passage-in-malawi/283196/ Beenish Ahmed (January 20, 2014). "Confronting a Sexual Rite of Passage in Malawi". The Atlantic]</ref> After the training, a hyena is a traditional position held by a man who performs the cleansing for females usually aged 12–17 years, and gets paid from $4 to $7 each time.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-36892963 "Malawian 'hyena man' arrested for having sex with children". BBC. 26 July 2016.]</ref> The rite lasts for three days. Sometimes, the girl is required to perform an explicit dance bare breasted known as chisamba at the end of their initiation as they are being presented to the whole community.

In a three month ritual known as Chinamwali in the Eastern province of Zambia, female initiators known as Alangizi teach sex skills to girls as young as 12. Much is underreported and those undergone the ritual are sworn to secrecy. After the training, they are sent to an older man from the community who is a tester who tests their skills in sex and sees if they need to go back to training.<ref name="trust">[https://news.trust.org/item/20150428112702-w3suc "Zambian sex initiators lead revolution for young women". Reuters. 28 April 2015.]</ref>

===Western NGO intervention===

In the era of widespread HIV infection, and western imperialist intervention via [[NGO|nongovernmental organizations]], various measures have been taken to modify or abolish these long-standing African traditions. The rites are sometimes believed by traditionalist Malawians for example, to prevent disease.<ref name="trust" /> Initiators are selected for their moral character and are sometimes believed to be incapable of catching diseases such as HIV/AIDS. It should be cautioned that pharmaceuticals can now render a HIV-Positive person noninfectious, and it is unknown the extent to which these stories are cherry-picked and inflated by western NGOs.
