Abstract

Female adolescent rites of passage provide communities with a group process for initiating girls into womanhood. These rituals are rooted in ancient traditions and support girls’ psychological and spiritual development. Western society has no such widely practiced rituals. Girls’ circles are beginning to fill this void. As a rite of passage program, girls groups address the critical themes of female identity development, personal values, and healthy relationships so pertinent to girls’ concerns. Trained facilitators can provide a program where girls share, explore, think critically, and develop confidence.
