The Mursi people of southern Ethiopia traditionally wear lip plates, a practice that began before age 10 by removing lower front teeth and stretching the lip to hold a clay disc; while originally believed to protect women from slavery, it now symbolizes beauty, social status, and cultural identity, though many young women are choosing not to follow this tradition due to modern perspectives and health concerns, leading the Ethiopian government to discourage the practice.

This remarkable woman belongs to the Mursi people of southern Ethiopia, a community where some women still wear traditional lip plate. [music] The process usually begins before the age of 10. The lower front teeth are removed and the lip is slowly stretched to hold a large clay disc. It was once believed this practice started to protect women from slavery, but today it represents beauty, social status, and cultural identity. However, many young women are now choosing not to follow this tradition and the Ethiopian government is also discouraging due to health concerns.
