Young girls force-fed for marriage in Mauritania | Unreported World

- Force fed to be fat: Some Mauritanian communities believe that the fatter girls look the wealthier and more attractive they appear to men. Sahar Zand meets the families force feeding their young girls a 9,000 calorie-a-day diet during a brutal "feeding season" in Mauritania. Growing up in a poor country, that's going through a devastating drought, means that marrying well is crucial and mothers believe getting fat will increase the chances of a happy union.

Don't excuse the moms that force this on their daughters. Excuse that ones that give a choice.

beauty standards are so different all across the world. she just said “when i’m fat i will be pretty”. i’ve never heard that before.
It used to mean that for most of the world bevase food wasn’t in abundance for most of history
it's the same here in Algeria (North Africa)
"we have a wedding and want to get fat" is a sentence I never thought i'd hear in my life

Lena Boo same here. We go on diets
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So true...so weird.
Girls getting married at 12..
I understand that it's a cultural difference but it just makes me feel so sad that literal children are forced to be with men..
Even if it's culture it doesn't mean it's right. Stuff like this should stop especially child marriage that's litteraly rape
its disgusting! Smh
Kids in America can be married with a parents consent, this still happens today in America...
I know, right? They fatten their children like they would fatten a calf. Then they send them off for the slaughter(figuratively speaking but no less gruesome).
Just cause it's part of a culture doesnt make it right.
I’m from mauritania and this is makes me devastated, yet I’m happy to say that this is not as common now as it used to be
There is nothing wrong with finding someone you love. Being forced into marriage with someone you don't love is so wrong and disgusting.
Facts
lol, that’s why Westerners get married at 40 or later or end up dying alone with Alzheimer’s and with someone from this country changing their adult diapers. These people know that it’s better to carry on their legacy and have children Young than to live like westerners, who many die alone
That's Somalia for ya
@@Yourname50828 the video was not talking about somalia, not to mention it wasn't talking about forced marriage either
“One less mouth to feed”??? But they’re being force fed thousands of extra calories, so they definitely have enough food to feed many mouths and more??? I am so confused.
Amyyy I’m confused because aren’t these countries that claim that they are starving and have no food but they have LOADS of food to make girls fat ?
Well they do use simple basic foods like couscous and milk from their animals. Not full meals, they also use the cheap illegal medications as well. Also it's likely that since the girls are out the house married before 16, they're investing in a short amount of time on order to save for long term
Confused too
When they say forced fed I think they mean forcing themselves to eat it
They do state that the other family members go without food
“When I am fat I am more beautiful”
I wish i could think like that tf
😂
Same~ oppa 😉
shivu sharma ew koreaboo fat fuk
Ah I'm so fat...no one sees my big fat belly
SweetJello _
don't be an ass clown
just the thought of going through this is extremely anxiety inducing, i can’t even begin to imagine the trauma that these sweet girls have experienced
This is absolutely barbaric. Poor babies. 😢 Im an ER nurse.. the "force feeding" is bad enough but then they are giving them unprescribed steroids n antihistamines that aren't medically necessary?! Jesus christ! Dexamethasone has terrible side effects even when taken correctly..especially for children. U can also have awful withdrawal when u stop them. Truly horrific.
“A married daughter means one less mouth to feed”
If you racion the food into normal portions, you could sustain them forever
Meh ye but these people are really poor
Gamer Boy still, doesn’t make any sense
Meh Yeah but they won’t need to sustain them forever. Eventually they will grow up and marry. “A married daughter means one less mouth to feed” means they are poor and if one of them marries into a family and leaves, it will be easier for the mother to sustain the rest of the family. Still I don’t support force feeding.
Meh , That’s what I thought, as well! Nonsense!
You sure don't have proper idea of "quantity" I guess. What's fed for a few months you are comparing it to a mouth to be fed for a lifetime of 60/80 years?
"A married daughter means one less mouth to feed"
😤 Then why have kids if you see it that way???
Contraception might be hard to come by and having more kids usually means more hands to help the family
Farm labourers, most if not all cultures of poorer working class in preindustrial Europe saw this as the only reason to have kids so they are just lagging behind by a lot but the idea that children are nothing more then little lackey labourers is definitely not new
@@di7209
That's the reason poverty still exists, more children means more mouth to feed not more hands, that's why family planning is important, but if you have already created a child you have no right to abuse them
Because according to their beliefs, a wife's duty is to birth a son in order to carry out the husband's family name. While subjecting girl children to BS!
@@that_zulu_girl1908 Yes, I realize that but I still think it's BS either way. 😶
They forget as adults how miserable it made them as children, or they would never continue this. A cultures beauty standards should never fog a mother's judgement. They literally admit that their health is not priority. Insanity.
Inflicting this on their children actually makes it okay that it happened to them. It's a sick psychological mindset. If she doesn't do it for her child it forces her to accept and acknowledge she was abused. It can be seemingly too much for the person to bear.
“I’ve had enough and can’t take it anymore. But Monhe is forced to continue.” 💔 This video really hurts.
Beauty standards are stupid either starving or gaining 😢
Hanna Sasmiita that’s so true why would you want to do either everyone is perfect in there own way
Husna Yaqubi being force fed isn’t pleasant mind you neither is starving

@@grapesoda27914 and if they lost weight their diabetes wouldn't go away. lots of skinny people have heart issues too. let people kill themselves if they want, but only if it's what they really want to do
Starving? TF do you mean? Just as long as you're are not so fat that your legs succumb to gravity and legit break when you try to stand it's all cool.
Recipe on how to get fat:
Go to America and live there for a few months
😂😂😂
😂
I guess. They’re trying to be fat to be pretty and America trying to be skinny to be desirable. Geez people always want the opposite!! Just need to be happy who they are.
WOW, thanks for all those (tschikens meme) likes
Nice recipe since its waay easier to get an american visa, right?
Its heartbreaking to see what some people have to go through due to poverty mindset and lack of education.😢
Im a Mauritanian and not only these exist also the amount of child abuse here and toxicity of people. This is painful to watch.
This just proves how stupid beauty standards are
It is stupid
Yep that is why beauty should come from within
ikr
@toggle core I still do, my mom puts like so much makeup on but before she puts it on, she is even prettier
Sorry, but this is knowledge and life experience, not a standard. Almost all experienced men on the earth prefer chubby women.
And here I am gaining weight just by breathing
Lmao
Yupp! Here in Asia women work so hard to lose weight and look beautiful!
😂🤣 Right!! Same
Hahaha we will b the kardashians of mauritania

This is child abuse. I'm a qualified social worker and this definitely qualifies as abuse.
What does being a westren social worker have to do with anything
@@Bell_plejdo568pI'd ask the same question. Not all is about America.
This is also the case in one tribe in Western Uganda, the Bahima girls before being married off, are zero-grazed indoors on dairy products exclusively, and the groom's family is cautioned to sustain their daughter's current looks (weight and beauty). It's so disgusting and culturally embarrassing.
Are they atleast around the same age?
@@victorlolxd7347Usually never the case
My stomach hurts from just WATCHING how much they feed the babies under 10
me too...
same🙄
Same here
Ms Koala same I legit lost my complete appetite

We trynna lose weight to look good and they try to gain. I see a problem in both
The problem is that you should only focus on gaining or losing weight to be HEALTHY. Being too skinny and being too fat are equally as bad and come with almost an equal amount of health risks.
Me too
too skinny = bad ... too fat = bad .... healthy weight is good :) if you are too fat to be healthy lose weight if you are too skinny to be healthy gain weight
Oh it's not the same. Forcing children to do something unhealthy is bad, forcing children to do something healthy in a healthy way isn't bad.
What an eye opener. WOW 😳 How we all perceive beauty and the lengths we go to attain it. What a world we live in
This is child abuse
For me it's not the fact the they think fat is beautiful. It's the fact that they are doing it to get a husband, all the while not going to school. I see why investing in girls education in these countries is so important.
Liz Graham yeah
Some of the girls dont want to be married they just want to look "beautiful"
Grooming them as young as 10:-/. All to marry them so they don't have another mouth to feed. But if u didn't force feed them so much food then they can stick around a little longer and not forced to get married so young:-/
... legit the girl in the vid said she doesn't want to marry... And she still thinks fat is beautiful
@carter mason I can see that, but it's still a sad situation considering how sick the girls get. I think it's great they feel that curvier women are more beautiful but how they're going about it is detrimental to their daughter's health.
And anyway, after they're adults and have children... they will naturally become more curvy:-/
The money wasted on food could be saved for a better life than just
becoming a wife
with what schools, what jobs, where could they move to? this is like $3 worth of american money in food and the rest is the best they can do in a place constantly in drought and without many resources as literal nomads... so again what tf could change for them right now?
@@blahblahblahyasmine4515 sad fact but I gotta agree with you on this one
I could be wrong but I don't think they have to pay for the food. They aren't going to the supermarket, they own the animals that they get the milk from and they probably grow the plants.
Seriously
Lol they live in the Sahara desert. They don’t have lots of opportunities so they focus on getting married and surviving.

To be desirable
To get married
To be beautiful
Darlings, y'all are already beautiful to start with. This is child abuse.
no babe this is another culture you should not judge another culture based on yours, I recommend reading a little bit about social anthropology and the transition between ethnocentrism and relativism
Sofia who cares if it’s another culture? You shouldn’t treat children this way.
@@rhagelis7241 so the way we treat children in our culture is like the best way right, millions of depressed, anorexic kids with problems of body image. All I am saying is that we shouldn't judge another culture based on our standards of what's right and wrong. No culture has the right way to morales and etc because there's no right standard. With the advent of globalization we can only hope that certain methods would be replaced but we can't force what we think as right onto another culture this is just like what the colonizers did
So is trying to be skinny
Lmao it's less about the being forced to gain weight and more about the being married off as a child! They're not getting an education or even having a childhood because they're too focused of being prepped to become wives, become property of thier husbands and thier husbands families and have their own kids while still being children themselves, that's the part of the culture that is so painful.

I was told by a Nigerian colleague that in his part of the country his people would have a 'fattening room' for new brides. Ideas about beauty are different across the world. It's the extremes and the abuses that need to be kept in checked. Great reporting here ❤
I am from Nigeria and I don’t think the fattening room is as used as often anymore. I am igbo and we don’t do that.
The reason they aren’t getting fat is because their National food is very healthy. Give the processed food from AMERICA, McDonald’s and soda they’ll be plumpin no time. Regardless this is child abuse and it’s disgusting.
This is basically torture.
Not really
Then what is it

this is part of their culture. for westerners, its like restricting food intake. there was even a report somewhere where a teacher refused to let a student eat because the child brought junk foods. there are even diet pills being sold online. i think the closest thing western countries have are those meal plans you have to strictly follow.
Making CHILDREN vomit so they can keep eating and feel awful and sick all the time is absolutely sick
We don’t have the right to judge

You do have the right to judge such a dangerous practice. If this is making children sick and upset, cultural or not it is not right.

Of course she doesn't want marriage. She wants to stay with her mother at home, remaining her child as long as she can. Childbirth at thirteen, fourteen or fifteen... there is no physiological or anatomical path back from the damage.

This is the most honest comment I’ve ever seen
That baby said "she didn't want to marry" I can't stop crying...5:00..I had to come back and (edit for idiots) ..at 12yrs old most girls are self sufficient but because they're still maturing I call them babies and if we look at them as babies we won't treat them as experienced women..
But she could change her mind when little older, could be she just don't like to be forced to eat so much she do'n't like probably, kids this age and when older and older will change they mind, until they stay strong on what they really want and don't want and if she one of them, they will stay strong on what she want and don't want. That we say a kid that really knows what she want in her/his life :)

This is child abuse. Plain and simple.
Getting married is not the solution for this, education is.
@Archnid 001 men whore themselves as well. If these women knew that these men aren't worth the trouble they wouldn't want to get married. Just like men feel women aren't worth it either. Education is important for women so they won't depend solely on a man to provide for them. Most of the time, men will.mistreat women who are not educated.
Men in that culture hold the financial power,women's survival is to marry well. And men prefer plus size.
But educated persons still do plastic surgeries that put their life at risk
Archnid 001
All females look for a male who is successful and can provide. That is the way of nature. You sound broke, single and resentful of females in these arrangements . If you were in a polygamous society you’d have even less chance of having a partner .

It's quite sad to see that at this present age and time people still go through some experiences, and what's funny is the fact that they see it as quite a normal thing despite the unknowing pain it causes to the young girls, I felt like crying for them.
Anyways I really loved the presenter, she's very good, even up to the extent of eating that heavily with them, it's really courageous
i don't think the pain of the daughters is unknown to the mothers. the mothers reassure themselves with the idea that it's in their daughters' best intereset, and that the daughters will thank them once they marry

Child abuse on so many levels. My heart goes out to these young girls.
Is there one place in the world where women are accepted by men the way they are?!
Picky creatures they are.
Tabula Rasa it’s them manipulating the women to believe this. Why do they seek male approval above all else? Notice how bluntly the guy who the reporter talks to remarks her attractiveness? He basically says she is ugly, if he acknowledged beauty standards from elsewhere or personal preference, maybe it would not be so bad, but he is straight up telling her she is unattractive.
That is manipulation, manipulation that causes women to feel ashamed of themselves and their daughters for not holding up to male standards.
Tabula Rasa it’s the men who made them believe they need to do this to their daughters. The men are not stopping it, they’re encouraging it.
Tabula Rasa They don’t need to be there physically. It’s not like women set the standards for what men find attractive. The man the interviewer was talking to said that fat women are more appealing because they’re easier to have sex with and they’re not attractive if they’re skinny. The women may have set up this feeding ritual, but the men haven’t stopped it, they’ve encouraged it.
They’re treating children like they’re delicacies to be bought.
Tabula Rasa If they need to murder someone to not be murdered by you, you are at fault too.
i am fat. But seeing the amount of the food consume by the girls made my stomach churned in discomfort

"I want to be fat. Then, I will be beautiful."
Me as a child:
"I want to be thin. Then, I will be beautiful."
If I could, I would give them and younger me a hug and say that they are beautiful just the way they are.
The most interesting takeaway from this documentary is that in poor countries - it is enviable to look fatter. Skinniness is associated with poverty, weakness and disease. Whereas in western countries, we are so rich, the quantity of food and health people have does not usually relate to wealth or financial success. Skinniness is associated with athleticism, good health, dancers, models, beautiful, rich people.
I can understand their perspective and the bad connotations of being skinny in their country.
EVERYONE has to strive for something, believing it will give them what they want. This is just the truth in their society.
Was wondering if I would see a comment like this anywhere on here. I suppose its because I have been studying anthropology, but I was surprised the reporter was unable to remove her own biases from the documentary. Though I understand that according to western values and medicine, what they are doing is unhealthy and even cruel (the force feeding), not everyone in the world has the same morals we do (hence different cultures exist), and there are some groups that do not believe in western medicine at all, so citing WHO guidelines like they are universally understood and accepted isn't really appropriate.
You hit the nail on the head, here where poverty is rife, weight is equivocated with wealth, as if you are fat, then you must have money because you can clearly afford to feed yourself. It's like the equivalent of driving a fancy car, wearing designer clothes, or having a big house in western society. It actually wasn't so different in western society a couple of hundred years ago, but looking at us today you would never guess it.
Hen9207 actually in wealthy countries those on lower incomes are more likely to be overweight or obese as lean meat, fruit and vegetables are more expensive than processed foods high in fat and sugar.
Nicely said Hen9207
Very nice observation! However @Happy Horse is right. I study public health, and for sure "trends" is an important part of peoples weight. However, all over the world weight and health does have a correlation with finances and success: In countries considered rich, the richest are usually more healthy (and skinnier), while the poorer people are more often overweight (and have other health related issues). In countries considered poor, the rich are usually overweight and unhealthy, while the poorer class have a more healthy weight (of course, some is unfortunately dangerously underweight as well). So actually - healthy eating does relate to "social status" even in a rich country. There are a lot of reasons for this of course, but in short rich countries have a lot of "fat" foods for cheap, like takeaway and meat/high calorie food, while lean meat, fruit and veg is expensive. If you are poorer you might also have to work more, and spend less time getting the right amount of exercise. While if you are richer and have a higher education, choosing "good" food (while all food can be considered healthy in right amount) is easier because you can afford it and you might have more time and money to exercise. In poor countries, high-calorie food usually is a lot more expensive, and there is little information about healthy eating. So even if you are wealthy and can afford high calorie food, you might not really understand the consequences unhealthy eating have. Of course a lot more than food makes your health better or worse, like smoking/drinking/drug abuse, living conditions, air quality etc. It would be nice if one day everyone would be able to have good health despite wealth and finances, but it's not like that at all.. On the bright side, when you are aware of this, you can make actions in your local community based on the general health there!
@@explary also have you noticed fast food joints are in poorer neighbourhoods. Even betting shops.

This is difficult to accept coming from western society, absolutely horrible to me, for such young girls, however, their culture and financial needs dictate their behavior.

Why can't beauty standards be healthy? Women need to either be overweight or underweight to be considered pretty in this world. It shouldn't matter what they weigh. It's what they want to weigh, not what others want them to weigh. Health shouldn't be put at risk to make someone want to marry you, if so, they aren't ready to marry you.

In rich countries a fat woman means, she is from a poor society and in poor countries a fat woman means she is from a rich society.
Messed up society... That's what it is
Makes sense if you think about it - if you have something, that's not widely available, you must be rather wealthy or attractive to others. In poor countries, where people starve on the street, being fat shows you are rich enough to afford food. In developed countries, where any food and especially fast food is widely available, being slim means you are educated enough to know how to feed your body correctly.
In history, that was exactly the case. For rich white men and women, being fat showed you were wealthy because you could afford plenty of food.
@@0neLiners Not just for white people. I mean look at the Venus of Willendorf she was an obese symbol of beauty
It depends, in a the poor country where you have to buy at a market you probably don’t have enough money so if you’re poor you can’t afford food so you’re likely to be on the skinny side the rich in a poor country most likely have more weight since they have money so that forms how they view beauty and it makes sense
This is absolutely cruelty
I am trying to become ugly everyday at the gym, but it is not working
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And here we are , trying to lose 30 pounds a month..
Even the men have joined on the bandwagon at this point!!
I know
I’m fucking 50 lbs overweight :,))
Wow. I wish there was a place where we didn't have to look a certain way to be considered
madeeha yeah same it’s sad that the mother will feel me her kids so much just to get them fat
madeeha that is heaven
That is nearly impossible
Oh and ur cute madeeha and yes ur right
It lies in your mind. Your perception.
If women didn’t bend to men’s will, we could feel beautiful no matter what we did. Men exude this confidence all the time. They don’t fret over this nonsense.
Try this, tell yourself your the most beautiful women in the world, don’t listen to anyone or otherwise
and the moment you find someone who genuinely agrees and you will, trust.........
make sure you believe it.
And WAH LAH! your beautiful.
My father always told me,
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
It’s not that we’re all equally beautiful.... it’s just someone will find you uniquely beautiful. And even then, you still have to be beautiful on the inside... so that’s where your focus should be. Outer beauty will follow. And so will others.
It is like feeding animals to be slaughtered for meat.
PCOS, gestational diabetes, cancer, type 2 diabetes… congestive heart disease… how are these women in their 20s to 50s?
most probally don't make it to their 50's
I’m more concerned about how old these MEN ARE THAT MARRYING 15yrs 🤨
Yeah I forgot about that possibility that is a serious problem.
This is disgusting however it was the norm not that long ago in Europe as well
@@ladygaga5922 I would think around a 100 years ago
@10.000 subs no vidz i would say 500 years ago tbh
Lady Gaga if 1700’s isn’t that long ago.

This is so sad…
So u have beauty standards on both sides of the extremes. There, where they force women to be unhealthily fat, and the US, where we force women to be unhealthily thin. Neither is better than the other. The discomfort those girls feel from force feeding is just as bad as girls who’s parents starve them to keep them skinny.
Woman suffer just to make man happy in bed!!! Tsk!! 😠😠
This is terrible...
Lovely A. Yes this is so sad😭We must be thankful for not being born there , poor little girls and women😢
Its horrid
Welcome to the world. On 3rd worls countries they try to get more fat. In 1st world countries they starve to look beautiful.

I'm gonna be honest the journalist looks really pretty.....
sure..... she's attractive/pretty. nothing out of the ordinary though

@@jenna9305 RIght?!?!? theyre GORGEOUS!
The journalist would still be pretty if she gained a little weight.
Yes she is indeed
Heartbreaking 💔
When she said that adding more weight made the girls look older like theyd reached puberty so they could marry... that made me sick🤢😭
@@trollrat2828 OMG I READ URS WHEN SHE SAID IT
And it made sense now why the have the gain weight. It’s so they don’t feel as bad while the basically R* children.
She is in no place to be calling herself a “mother”. No concern at all for the health of her own children. Absolutely sickening.
@@ShoyuRamenBreakingBad not really your place to judge is it
@@pisshat a normal human being can say that this is absolutely fkn disgusting and wrong
“The doctors say it causes health risks but it’s what we do”
Flawless logic
@Aeiou Welcome to earth. Every culture has people who engage in unhealthy behavior to attract the opposite sex. From neck elongation to plastic surgery. From over eating to starvation (and laxatives), or even steroid use.
Boopy Schmoops no it doesn’t that people works hard and are not obese like Americans. No damage to health at all
Is it not the same when smocking a cigarette!! I mean doctors ive said its bad for years but you'll probably still do it!!
@Aeiou it is bcause people have either been really sick or died from it!!
@Aeiou Getting a nose job requires anesthesia which, however small, still carries the risk of death. You could be put under and never wake up. How did you not consider that?
Some call it a sandstorm and others call it a miracle
Love your channel ❤❤❤
Now that's a journalist! To better understand the issue, she did what the children had to! That's amazing! She's an adult and she had to stop, imagine the children. 😭😢
That s called professional journalism. A lot of them do such things depending where they go and what it is about
AND she weighed them and got an idea of their health for herself.
Yeah she looked like she was really tapped out
They are pushing kids to marry old men
@@420ablesmoker While force feeding young girls is to my view a form of child abuse, I also would like to inform you that inside that community, men also are marrying at early adult age. Those girls will not be force married at childhood, and will not marry older men either. Men there marry in their early twenties.
*And this is why our moms tells us to always finish our food.*
fat = healthy xD
Lol, I'll never look at my dinner the same -_-
That is horrible. Parents do not tell parents to finish their food because they want them to be molested by men.
Michelle
what
@Zaynab Pizza What you said does not make sense. The video is about girls. being force fed to look good for men. They would rather marry children instead of women. Something is wrong with this picture. Men should marry women. That makes sense.
Her Journalism is top tier❤
I think this issue stems from a lack of proper education, poor governance, and a culture severely ingrained with sexism. Not enough government laws are implemented to stop this abuse and the women have no access to information and data to make good decisions for their children. This is sad indeed but it is the reality.
The reporter is so respectful and taking part eating with them is so sweet.
Yes, this. The goal is to experience and learn, not to judge.
By end of two meal the reporter started looking more pretty ... 😅 jk
It’s child abuse...she did what she had to do. In no way does she respect this.
That's good, cause I would have strangled them.
And very pretty when she wears there traditional dress...like Wow!
There’s a massive sandstorm coming this way. walks towards the sandstorm

This hurts me
This is so sad. I am a nurse and I have struggled with my weight all my life. This is absolutely the most traumatic and tragic thing I have ever seen.
I thought when that leader said fatter women are more comfortable during sex is about the cruelest thing I have ever heard.
This is awful.
The irony that their overfeeding their kids and buying medicine to gain weight while there's a drought going on in a poor country.
It’s their country that’s poor?
@@timothy4077 yea africa and other parts are still developing and its poor
Some parts of Africa suffer hard, but I recommend research and don't believe everyone saying they're "just poor".
Makes one wonder whose really paying for the supplies to make those young girls fat, especially with all the shady global markets around
