The village people looks at the bull jump ceremony. The Hamer (also spelled Hamar) are a tribal people in southwestern Ethiopia. They live in Hamer Bena woreda (or district), a fertile part of the Omo River valley, in the Debub Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR). They are largely pastoralists, so their culture places a high value on cattle. Their society consists of a complex system of age groups. To pass from one age group to another involves complicated rituals. The most important ceremony for young men is the 'bull jumping' , the final test before passing into adulthood. Before the main event of the ceremony the unmarried women of his family have to prove family's courage allowing themselves to be whipped.
