The Kayan

According to Wikipedia, the Kayan are a "feminine religion that it’s built on a feminine solidarity and a preservation of traditions." They live in Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar, the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia. When a girl is five years-old, she starts wearing the neck rings, which are brass coils that are put around her neck; later on, when she is ready for marriage, she has to change it for a longer neck coiling. It is a great celebration because is the starting of her body modification, however it is incredibly painful and it takes months to adjust. Then is when the girl needs to decide if she should stop the tradition and be married into another tribe, or continue with her suffering and honour her tribe by following their rules.
