I really can't stress this enough. Yall really gotta do a better job hiding these wemen identities. It's crazy to hear what people will do to these wemen and yall put basic filters on them that literally anybody who knows them irl can tell in .2 seconds. Bro yall put that woman's whole ahs child's FACE in this video
@@diva80you completely missed the entire point of the post because of one letter. Everyone knew they meant "women", even you. Get out of here grammar police, there are obviously much more significant things to focus your energy on. The women, their identity, and the identity of their children MUST be protected
Exactly 💯, even the blurry part ain't working if you know someone u can easily tell who she is, I don't understand journalism why they don't understand how dangerous it is to play with someone life!!
@@lindarakobe6527 Nah, they know exactly how dangerous it is, they just don't care. Truly, they don't. They're not pretending to blur the woman for her sake, that's just a fraud they perpetuate to make themselves sound more exciting yet more legit. They wouldn't be the first sensational "journalists" of this type to take bets on how long she lasts, so then they can put out another salacious video about her demise, and how clever they are to get to show it to you..
Came to the comments just to say, if I knew this person, I would probably be able to tell who she was. They barely blurred her face…and her body wasn’t blurred at all. I hope she’s safe!
This video is from 2016, yes, it was horrible, this is why we hate gangsters from MS-13 and 18-Street so much, fortunately after sending 75,000 gangsters to prison last year our country is finally safe for everyone. Nobody should ask us Salvadorans to give those fk gangsters a good treatment in prison after everything they've done to us.
It's like some men really hate women. Despicable really. Unacceptable in every way. Damn shame. RIP to all the innocent that have passed. Peace be with you.
Unfortunately, Men who think and act in this way, do nothing but set themselves up for a one gender society. Hatred causes destruction. It's already happening in many Islam countries. The male population is much higher than the female population. If men are happy with creating one gender societies, then happiness is key, but will be met with regret later on.
The vast majority of homicide victims in El Salvador and Latin America are men, not woman, but sure, let’s keep pretending women are the main victims and h*aped even tho there is no evidence that the majority of the perpetrators stated, “I k*illed this woman just bc she’s a woman” or any intent that is due to misogyny. Vice is a left wing propaganda to always find a way to make women look like the main victims
my grandmother sent my mother off to the states in the 70s due to the extreme violence in El Salvador. And I'm so incredibly grateful she did. My mother received citizenship, graduated from Hs and college. her life would have been so much different had she stayed.
I'm suddenly remembering my mom's friend, an El Salvadorean woman who had American kids but she herself was waiting for citizenship. It looked like she might get rejected so she told my mom in confidence that she'd kill herself if she gets denied, so she won't be forced to go back and so her sons wouldn't have to worry about her. Thank god she was granted citizenship
@@Valentina.MontanoAssumptions will have you offended by everything. This person just remembered a story due to this story, where is the wrong in that? These stories may not be yours but it’s a reality for many women around the world. What this video has done is give courage to others. It is helping someone somewhere. Not everything said is in malice but if you see malicious intent in everything? It might be time to look within.
@@Valentina.Montano I get what you are saying and happy that your country is safer now. However, yes it does give hope to many people around the world from abused backgrounds. This particular video is showing a woman coming forward to tell her story and the woman above responded because she had a story that was related to the video we both just both watched. It may be an untruth for you but a truth for others. Someone seeing someone they think is speaking up for what is right, does tend to have that affect on people in difficult situations. Assuming? No dear. I saw a story and I can see how someone might see hope in it. And if you talked to people from other countries that have escaped terrible situations, you will find that seeing something like this gives them courage. Take a minute to volunteer at a battered woman shelter and see what you find. You have a one sided point of view, such that someone finding something relatable in a story offends you. Again, look inward.
@@Valentina.Montano In addition, this video shows that they interviewed a woman that feared for her life to point her face was blurred out. Did you know the woman interviewed personally? You can educate people about the happenings of your country yes, but to go off on someone who is simply sharing their story is not it. That is misfired frustration.
@@Србомбоница86thats not whats happening in this video tho… and that is absolutely a result of women being treated as less than. Humans find ways to cope, you either find a way to like what your dealing with or find a way to leave
the way these men speak so highly about their horrendous actions is mind boggling. are they not processing THE WORDS coming out of their mouths? so despicable and disgusting. more justice and protection for these women!!!
The woman wants to be anonymous but you showed off a lot a blurred effect and not showing the face doesn’t do much also you showed her kid? Why show their face? I know this is a re upload but I haven’t seen it before and this just struck me as weird.
Listening to that man talk about beating and almost killing the mother of his child was absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. I’m shocked at how easily he talked about it. How little he seemed to care. I can’t wrap my head around it 😞💔
It is heartbreaking. It's awful and disgusting. It happens everywhere too. That domestic violence isn't uncommon anywhere unfortunately. It happens all over the world including the US. The entire world needs to make a change.
It’s a cultural thing and their culture finds that tolerable and acceptable no different than a sensible civilized person would find that abhorrent. They find it perfectly normal says how they’re raised that’s what their values instill.

My mom has told me about machismo growing up in Central America. A few of her friends died at the hands of machistas. One of the reasons she moved to the U.S. in the 80s.
@@loveinthematrix video from 2016, the gangsters in this video and another 75,000 are already in prison, nobody is going to do anything to these women anymore.
Femicides and homicides are different - El Salvador still has one of the highest femicide rates in the world. Vice has been airing episodes from this series for weeks now, it's not an attack on El Salvador. Edit: Globally, femicides are overwhelmingly perpetuated by male family members - that includes members of the police force, public servants, and other 'ordinary' men who aren't in gangs. Within the first 5 minutes of the video they state "it's easy to assume these are tragic casualties of gang warfare" and then go on to explain how that's not the case. They later say "femicide in el salvador is not just a phenomenon of gang warfare." I'm tired of people's comments lol.
I remember first seeing Vice cover War Kidnap "Brides" in Africa. Since then, I've watched them report on violence against women EVERYWHERE in the world. I can see how someone might connect this story to some agenda, but that would be missing the point. This violence against women isn't isolated to any specific place on the map, or just a symptom of any specific culture... It's happening everywhere, everyday.
I was about to say. This is not El Salvador now. This video is from 2016. The current president has pretty much cleaned up the streets and crime is at the lowest it’s been in decades!
Those animals from the bar, I'm bristling with rage!!! The young one who witnessed hos father telling his mother to "screw him" to "earn the money" and how he blamed his mother was just sickening!
That's why we hate the gangsters so much, you can see in this video from 2016 how horrible it was for us to live under their control, fortunately we sent 75,000 of those gangsters to prison and things have totally changed.
@@Србомбоница86Y’all misogynists are the most tone deaf people I’ve ever met on the internet. She can’t leave, because she’ll be killed in the most brutal way possible. For her choosing to leave or to stay is an illusion of freedom. Those women were not free
18 being the age of consent is an anthropologically recent phenomenon based on linear numerical time. It is an idea spread via colonialism and cultural oppression of indigenous ways of life inherently based on the idea that Anglo-Saxons are morally and ethically superior to “savages.” Imposing a strict and arbitrary number on people who lived otherwise for thousands of years is racist oppression. But the left won’t tell you this.
Wow, the men in that bar. Good lord, it is entrenched in the culture. This is one of those rare cases in my opinion where raising awareness will make a real change
The fact that they believe machismo comes from women because women “let it happen to them” (abuse) is crazy, what’s crazier is the older man saying some women like the abuse. Right, women like being killed….i get BDSM but I have a strong feeling the femicide in El Salvador right by now isn’t from BDSM situations gone wrong…
That’s what I keep saying this is their culture. These are their values. This is what they’re all about. That’s why it is perpetuated. That’s why it is tolerated. That’s why it’s accepted because it’s part of their culture. It’s perfectly fine to them. It’s no problem. That’s the problem that they need to solve. It’s not a criminal problem. It’s a cultural problem, this isn’t a one off
@@xndrxx0 I'm a women, femicides unrelated to gangsters are around 40 per year, murders due to gangs are 6,000 a year, it has helped, most women died due to gang violence than femicides. 120,000 were killed by gangs between 1990-2023, femicides don't even compare to that, be a little more respectful and stop talking bs, now without the gangsters we can work on femicides, but don't even pretend the current situation haven't improved.
@@Valentina.MontanoMy mother's from mexico and my father's from El salvador. I was born in the US. I don't know what the world goes through. It surprises me when I see online. I've never experienced this first hand. And I hope no one ever goes through this again
@@Valentina.Montanoyour president locked up 75-76k people who could of been innocent.. it’s very flawed. We will see how your country does in years to come. Hoping and praying for the best.. the violence is beyond crazy over there.
Its normal for a real man to have an Ego, but the man stops being a real man when he harms a female just because he can. He then becomes a coward. I pray for these women; this is very heartbreaking.
Exactly! I love masculine men. My husband & my father are both what they call a Man’s Man! Our son is the same. But.. A real man, in all his masculinity protects women! Admires women! Adores women! Provides for their women. He doesn’t hurt her in any way shape or form.

@@saintejeannedarc9460 it has changed, those gangsters are now in prison, 75,000 gangsters are paying for their crimes and we can finally live a normal life now that they're no longer harming anyone.
Keep in mind this aired in 2016 and the country is A LOT safer now. I’m actually really proud of how far El Salvador has come. This is my dad’s country and he expresses to me all the time how he is excited to go visit now.
Your father is going to love it. My Dad has gone several times since Bukele has come into the office. My dad almost tears up at how much the country has changed. A park that he was robbed in when he was younger has completely changed. People can walk outside at night without fear. People are laughing and living their life. Kids in highschool are learning about computers and bitcoin mining. God bless Bukele.
Coming from a Salvadorian background, I can confirm that El Savlador has changed, this was 2016. Our president has manage to keep the streets clean of violence and has put alot of gangs in jail. It is actually safer now than before.
Anyone who defends that this aired 8 years ago so it’s old. No feminism can ever achieve that it would solve women’s problem in such a short period of time. Vice clearly said in the description that it aired in 2016 so I get the context here. What makes me irked is that despite the very vivid, graphic griefs in the video some people are hastily putting up the defensive attitude, mocking the reporters who must have gone through hell with the women. Sad.
This is why many women from El Salvador can get asylum in America!!This is why I’m a feminist and a womanist because I understand the suffering of girls and women.The president in El Salvador is doing a great job!!
My family left El Salvador nearly 50 years ago. I recently returned and thank God, the President Bukele has transformed the country in such a way that we don't see this level of violence any more.
@@poptartdomand if you check the comments this was aired in 2016. They probably just reposted this same video . El Salvador has a new president now and he is doing way better for the people over there now that people in the United States feel safe taking their family there to visit again. El Salvador has become the safest place in Central America ever since this new president.
Lord. I am praying for ALL women ALL over the world especially in these countries like El Salvador, India and Africa. Give Women JUSTICE from the hands of these beasts! Hear their cries in the land!😭
The government gave us justice already, they sent 75,000 of these horrible gangsters to prison last year, we don't live like how it shows in this video from 2016 anymore, we can finally live in peace ❤
It doesn't matter if this was from ten years ago or twenty. Learning world history and how it relates to modern issues is important! We can fix our problems when we acknowledge our past.
Just to make things clear, this is Not El Salvador anymore. I moved 3 years ago doing Missionary work and a lot has changed. Gangs are no Longer harassing females or people period. They are locked up, please don’t use this and make it seem like we’re still suffering through this. I pray and hope other countries like Honduras or Guatemala can change like our country has since March 2022!!. We can walk freely now and enjoy what this country has families can be free and we’re no longer afraid. We keep praying for other countries that find themselves in this situation and only getting worst. Blessings.
These same men get angry when their women marry foreigners... WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? The way these men take these women for granted as well. Not a lot of traditional women out there and they don't deserve to be abused/mistreated. I now understand why these women online date to get out of there.
That's why sending 75,000 gangsters to prison was our priority, you can see in this video from 2016 how horrible it was to live under their control. Things are totally different now after those monsters are paying for their crimes.
This is horrible 😢😢😢 No woman should live in a fear for her life just because of her gender. Come on fellow men, I think we collectively decided against this in the 20th century
Violence against anyone regardless of thier gender is horrible, and no I am not dismissing violence against women. No life is more valuable than the other, men also need protection especially young boys and elderly men . My point is every life is valuable.
idk why you feel the need to take away from the original point of us needing to protect women, violence being bad regardless of gender is very obvious, you are adding nothing to the convo tbh @@ChrisCap732
listening to the guy who beats his underage girlfriend and the mother of his child, and that he does so specifically because he knows she loves him and will forgive him every time and that he's thought about killing her made me disgusted. But listening to the guys at the table talk about how there are a lot of women who like being abused and are happy when their husbands/boyfriends do it made me physically ill. Jesus.
Why is Vice getting this out now? They should prefix this video at the start it was filmed and edited in 2016. Im not from El Salvador but I hear its way different now. Posting this without context when it was made at the start gives a bad view for the country.
@@hellomadam8021illegal immigration has been a problem under both republicans and democrats. There are plenty of countries in the world with tight immigration policies so it is not a really difficult issue to solve for. The reason why the USA is not doing more is because of money. The cheap labor makes a lot of businesses more profitable. Follow the money and you will find the root cause of most government problems.
Women there dont "like violence", they grew up watching their moms, aunts, and other women getting beaten up almost every day that they started to normalize it . I mean, after all, what can they do about it? Men there dont value value women, the very living thing that brought them into this world. May God bless these women and look after them❤
El Salvador literally is the safest country in the Americas now. Bukele locked up anyone who could have potentially been in gangs, the statistic about El Salvador being the highest homicide rate in the world is not true anymore
This was hard to watch. I hope change happens soon. These men needs to address the hurt they’re dealing with inside thats where all that anger stems from and the damn atmosphere encourages it is really disgusting
Not anymore, this video if from 2016, we sent all those 75,000 gangsters to prison, their mutherf culture is dead now, we Salvadorans can finally live in peace.

Her father & I even told her boyfriend if anything happens to her we’re holding him personally responsible and to not bother coming back!! His family lives in the mountains and she wasn’t allowed to leave the family compound without at least three male escorts!

@@abigailgonzalez9563 Excuse me? What kind of mother does what? You need to watch how you talk to people you don’t know. You may keep your children in a bubble if you like. It’s not healthy at all! And though you may think you’re keeping them from uncertain harm, all you’re doing is sheltering them from living life! Part of being a parent is knowing that although you can’t always be there you’re confident that you’ve taught your children well enough to be vigilant young adults.
I don’t like how you were showing the places they lived and not blurring them more. The documentary is really educational, and has a strong message. Though at some point, it felt like you were just using them for your documentary. Not making sure they’re safe after or at least not showing there locations. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea but at least you could’ve gave them water or groceries that they need. I mean they did just risk their life!
El salvador, Bolivia Columbia , Venezuela r equally vulnerable.many countries worldwide are not safe where various types of crime r rampant. We r more uncivilized than bafore.
Recently there was a man from Chile who was interested in dating me, an American woman. On our second date he told me his aunt was shot by her husband at the time because he 'thought' she cheated. She actually didn't cheat nor had an affair. Luckily, she survived the assault but was paralyzed from the waist down. According to this Latino man his aunt was extremely beautiful and still was even after the assault. It's about control and the Catholic church brainwashed those people. This Latino guy would not respect my set boundaries like calling me past a certain time or calling and not leaving a message when I requested he not. I told him I go to bed at a time during the week I found it odd that he would lie about little things. When we talked he would say immature things like I called because you asked me to call you or say he couldn't be calling me all the time.. I never asked him to call me actually. I only went on two dates but there were lots of red flags. Western women have a lot of individual Rights, individual Freedoms, and have the Right to pursue our own definition of Happiness especially in the Scandinavian Nordic countries. These Freedoms should NEVER be taken for granted, EVER! I will say women who come to The West from these patriarchal countries can be worse than the males sometimes and actually uphold such oppressive regimes like #HonorCode #ArrangedMarriages #CasteSystem #KafalaSystem #Femincide #PassiveAggressive
At least read the description, this was a video from 2016, before we sent 75,000 gangsters to prison. Things are safe now, this motherf are not able to harm us anymore.
To anyone who is worried rightow... this video was filmed back in 2016, this film is about 7 or 8 years old. Nowadays el salvador is a much safer country thanks to bukele... i have friends over there they say it's the first time in their life they can breathe calmly ( of course never letting their guard down). My heart goes to all of these victims and their families.
My Dad is from Salvador he would always tell me and my brothers stories of how it was back then when he was small. What him and my grandpa would find in the jungles, what they saw in the streets.
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn You click on a video that thoroughly describes why women can slip into further danger than men but your unwise self still says "BS". Do better, stop shaming your mother.
I mean it wouldve been mainly men doing the killing lets be real here. We are so much above women in their ability its extremely unfair, which is why it is considered a mans responsibility to protect women. Because we can.
I just dont get why. We are all equally human, all that is different is what role we play in reproduction. Our brains truly work the same, we just get socialized differently. Is it not easier to just get along and treat each other with love? We are made to love each other after all, at the very least in order to raise children together. Ill never understand how men can stand to mistreat women
8:19 so I totally get her saying when she was on a gang she felt strong and like she had a family, but if she’s in a gang abd she knows these things are happening to other women in the other gangs when they’re captured, wouldn’t she be scared of those things happening to her?
El Salvador just finished building Cecot (Centre for the Confinement of Terrorism), the largest prison in Latin America to try and handle gangs in El Salvador. It's been called the "mega prison". If there's ever a total breakout as just happened in Haiti, either the military will have to fully mobilize or the count will be overrun. With all the gangs having massive members in the US, it will be an international threat.
I have a cousin who works for the FBI and he told me also, whenever he has a Latin America gang member in custody, most specifically from El Salvador, and question them, they said that also because men aren't being appreciated ever. Some men go there whole life without a compliment from women. A thank you, a kiss, hug or even a gift from a woman. No matter how hard they work or sacrifice. That's also why some gang killing towards women are so violent. Sorry for bad English, still learning.
As a Latino born and raised i pray and hope that Americans learn that this is part of what is going through the border, not all of them of course but this way of living and sick state of mind is coming to America. Our Latin countries are all like this because of us and politics corruption. America closed your borders yesterday.

My mom was born in El Salvador in the 60s. The stories she's told me of what young men and women had gone through before death are truly horrific. they had no mercy. they'd even tortured pregnant women horrifically. She left to the states in her late 20s for safer life.
Thank goodness for president Bukele I personally am married to a salvadorian and I so glad it is safe enough now that our family can go visit his home country
(This video was released in 2016) For all those wondering, the homicide rate in El Salvador has dropped significantly, becoming one of the least homicides in the entire world due to the new president. There isn’t any new statistic reports on femicide but has most likely significantly decreased due to tens of thousands of gang members being incarcerated
Despite the efforts with curbing GANG violence, Nayib Bukele has done NOTHING to protect the women of his country. Considering he had a wife and two VERY YOUNG daughters at home you would think he would be making reforms in Women’s Rights. It is still illegal to get an abortion in El Salvador and punishable up to one year in prison.
It's the same in Honduras, and all over central/south america. MS-13 is very dominant. My wife works in Honduras as a missionary teaching english and art to impoverished children. I worry so much when she leaves to go to Honduras and I don't stop worrying till she comes home. But she loves the work she does and has incredible bonds with the children. The whole goal is to give the kids the tools they need to lift their own communities out of poverty. Every single child she works with has been horrifically abused. Especially the little girls. The church works very hard to keep them safe but nothing is guaranteed. I'll be going with her on the next trip as I see the impact her work is having. One child at a time.
How much does any one want to bet that some of these guys are in the states right now in a migrant shelter, waiting to bring their reign of terror on any woman unlucky enough to cross their path?
Wow.This was chilling. Bless those mothers & the woman who are trying to make progress in law enforcement & in the political realm. Thanks for shedding light on this.
@@Valentina.Montano Hi 👋🏾Oh like the President Bukele & law enforcement? How are things going there? I have met people from Mexico, PR, & Guatemala but I personally haven't spoken w/any one from El Salvador so my knowledge of current events there are very limited. Are the femicide rates substantially lower now? Were the 75,000 gangsters all apprehended by law enforcement during Bukle since he's been in office. Do women have better health/life expectancy now or feel more comfortable reaching out to police officers there, since that was one of the things this documentary mentioned about more women officers to help certain cases. Is it safer for travel for even U.S citizens or what? Any responses to these q's would be appreciated.🙌🏾
If they're gangsters report them to the Salvadoran Embassy, they can be sent back home to prison for gang affiliations. This behavior is gang related, not Salvadoran culture.
I feel like half male population of this country should be arrested. And that's crazy, because for this kind of actions you would have been already in jail in another country.
I hope things have changed with the new regime. El Salvador was a country of lawlessness. A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. This treatment of women has no excuse- machismo be damned.
No, no, but can someone PLEASE explain _why_ these documentaries are released like 10, 15 years after they are filmed?? This comment is the only comment i've read that points out these release delays. i've asked this question countless times on multiple documentaries that also have only been filmed like 10 years ago and only recently released, and _no_ one replies. if its not like they only release it to be watched for the public to watch it for free after they release it on PAID platforms like netflix, i really really don't understand why they want to want freaking 10 years to release it. either people for some bizzare reason think releasing documentaries 10-20 yrs to the public after filming it is _normal_ , or my comments havent actually been posted. idk. this world is weird i swear.
@@dbuc4671 1) 2016 was not 10, 15, or 20 years ago. 2) You can post comments, but you're not owed an answer. 3) There is no harm in re-releasing documentaries a few years later, especially when the description states when the documentary was filmed.
@@amyparker9816 1) I'm only talking about this specific one. there are tons of documentaries out there, released only recently, that were filmed in the 2000s and 2010s. i wouldnt ask a question like this if this documentary was the ONLY one I found that was this old. obviously i would have to have seen like at least 5 or 10 or more that are filmed such a long time ago, to begin to really wonder and question and wanna know why they do it. 2) I'm not expecting _anyone_ to answer me, nor does anyone _owe_ me anyone, but it would be nice to have some answers. Similar to how it would be _nice_ to have a seat on a full bus, but you aren't _expecting_ anyone to give one up for u. 3) answered it, i never knew they actually repost past videos.
16:45 I got to know the woman in this news, she was murdered along with her grandmother who was over 80 years old by the gang members (who killed them some time later) in mid-2015, she came to my house several times, she was a partner of my uncle who At that time he left the country (if he had been there, it is possible that he would have died too), seeing what the country was like almost 10 years ago and seeing how extremely safe it is now leaves me thinking about how this country was and That is, the role of women has taken on a lot of relevance since then, however, I consider that not only here but also in Latin America, and also in the U.S., women upload videos and content exposing themselves explicitly (whether in TikTok, etc.) making machisha behavior still present. Returning to the topic of this video from 2016 and the woman whose name was Soila was quite tragic due to the impact it brought, but now these years that the government managed to eradicate the gangs in this country have also made me think about the times I was that they would kill me too, it is good that the country is changing for the better, but there is still a long way to go, the gangs are not only the problem, it was the biggest, because there is still a lot to do in terms of health, education and personal culture in El Salvador
This is no longer the case. El Salvador had drastically changed. A complete 180 turnaround. It is now the safest nation in Latin America. One of the safest in the country. The gangs are no longer around. They have been dismantled by the current president and law reforms.
Why do you all constantly do such a terrible job hiding people's identity? WTF! It's almost like you want people to be found out so you can add more drama to your stories.
10:22 to me, this is the most chilling part of this doc. This grown man has a 15 year old child girlfriend who he beats, and is the mother of his child. And he’s thought about killing her. Disgusting!
I really can't stress this enough. Yall really gotta do a better job hiding these wemen identities.

It's like some men really hate women. Despicable really. Unacceptable in every way. Damn shame. RIP to all the innocent that have passed. Peace be with you.
Unfortunately, Men who think and act in this way, do nothing but set themselves up for a one gender society. Hatred causes destruction.
It's already happening in many Islam countries. The male population is much higher than the female population. If men are happy with creating one gender societies, then happiness is key, but will be met with regret later on.

Thank god she was granted citizenship

@@Valentina.MontanoAssumptions will have you offended by everything. This person just remembered a story due to this story, where is the wrong in that? These stories may not be yours but it’s a reality for many women around the world. What this video has done is give courage to others. It is helping someone somewhere. Not everything said is in malice but if you see malicious intent in everything? It might be time to look within.
@@Valentina.Montano I get what you are saying and happy that your country is safer now. However, yes it does give hope to many people around the world from abused backgrounds. This particular video is showing a woman coming forward to tell her story and the woman above responded because she had a story that was related to the video we both just both watched. It may be an untruth for you but a truth for others. Someone seeing someone they think is speaking up for what is right, does tend to have that affect on people in difficult situations. Assuming? No dear. I saw a story and I can see how someone might see hope in it. And if you talked to people from other countries that have escaped terrible situations, you will find that seeing something like this gives them courage. Take a minute to volunteer at a battered woman shelter and see what you find. You have a one sided point of view, such that someone finding something relatable in a story offends you. Again, look inward.
@@Valentina.Montano In addition, this video shows that they interviewed a woman that feared for her life to point her face was blurred out. Did you know the woman interviewed personally? You can educate people about the happenings of your country yes, but to go off on someone who is simply sharing their story is not it. That is misfired frustration.
I hate it when guys are like "she didn't leave so she must like it" like..... No... That's not it..... It's scary

The woman wants to be anonymous but you showed off a lot a blurred effect and not showing the face doesn’t do much also you showed her kid? Why show their face? I know this is a re upload but I haven’t seen it before and this just struck me as weird.
They literally got someone killed the following week like this once. Definitely never doing an interview for anyone on something fucked up
They blurred the man who beats his underaged wife’s face better than hers. Do better vice smh
I thought the same thing. People risk their lives to talk to you and you can't do the simplest thing like hide her identity
they showed her baby, her bracelet, key identifiers. This is not anonymous.!
My exact thoughts. Pissed me the hell off.
Listening to that man talk about beating and almost killing the mother of his child was absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. I’m shocked at how easily he talked about it. How little he seemed to care. I can’t wrap my head around it 😞💔
and the fact that she was 15??? like what
I felt as though he didn't have as much sympathy for her as he claimed to have. 15 is wild
Growing up without the ability to feel. Made sociopaths
It is heartbreaking. It's awful and disgusting. It happens everywhere too. That domestic violence isn't uncommon anywhere unfortunately. It happens all over the world including the US. The entire world needs to make a change.
It’s a cultural thing and their culture finds that tolerable and acceptable no different than a sensible civilized person would find that abhorrent. They find it perfectly normal says how they’re raised that’s what their values instill.

@@Valentina.Montano thank god
Femicides and homicides are different - El Salvador still has one of the highest femicide rates in the world. Vice has been airing episodes from this series for weeks now, it's not an attack on El Salvador.
Edit: Globally, femicides are overwhelmingly perpetuated by male family members - that includes members of the police force, public servants, and other 'ordinary' men who aren't in gangs. Within the first 5 minutes of the video they state "it's easy to assume these are tragic casualties of gang warfare" and then go on to explain how that's not the case. They later say "femicide in el salvador is not just a phenomenon of gang warfare." I'm tired of people's comments lol.

Hold on, a 15 year old wife??
18 being the age of consent is an anthropologically recent phenomenon based on linear numerical time. It is an idea spread via colonialism and cultural oppression of indigenous ways of life inherently based on the idea that Anglo-Saxons are morally and ethically superior to “savages.” Imposing a strict and arbitrary number on people who lived otherwise for thousands of years is racist oppression.

The fact that they believe machismo comes from women because women “let it happen to them” (abuse) is crazy, what’s crazier is the older man saying some women like the abuse. Right, women like being killed….i get BDSM but I have a strong feeling the femicide in El Salvador right by now isn’t from BDSM situations gone wrong…
I dont think so.
It won't. We need to keep certain people out of the States to preserve our own culture.
That’s what I keep saying this is their culture. These are their values. This is what they’re all about. That’s why it is perpetuated. That’s why it is tolerated. That’s why it’s accepted because it’s part of their culture. It’s perfectly fine to them. It’s no problem. That’s the problem that they need to solve. It’s not a criminal problem.

Things have gotten a lot better now for the past couple years! El Salvador now is one of the safest countries.
@@yuricantu4731 si las cosas están mucho mejor! El paise es súper seguro! Vamos bien seguido con mi familia y mis familiares ya viven libre de las pandillas!
My daughter visited
El Salvador a couple of years back! Her boyfriend & his family are from there and they still have family there! I can’t say I wasn’t scared to let her go! Her father & I even told her boyfriend if anything happens to her we’re holding him personally responsible and to not bother coming back!!
His family lives in the mountains and she wasn’t allowed to leave the family compound without at least three male escorts!
Even with all that, we were happy to allow her the experience to travel to another country and she was thankfully well protected & taken care of!
She also said that the El Salvador is absolutely beautiful! And from her photos she wasn’t lying..
I’ll pray for them.. 🙏🏽
💙 El Salvador 🇸🇻
Wow what kind of mother does that? Iam glad nothing happened to her, you need to be a mother not a friend ..
@@abigailgonzalez9563
Excuse me? What kind of mother does what? You need to watch how you talk to people you don’t know.
You may keep your children in a bubble if you like. It’s not healthy at all! And though you may think you’re keeping them from uncertain harm, all you’re doing is sheltering them from living life!
Part of being a parent is knowing that although you can’t always be there you’re confident that you’ve taught your children well enough to be vigilant young adults.
@@coffeecrimegal5968you are horrible mother wtf , disgusting shameful
I don’t like how you were showing the places they lived and not blurring them more. The documentary is really educational, and has a strong message. Though at some point, it felt like you were just using them for your documentary. Not making sure they’re safe after or at least not showing there locations. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea but at least you could’ve gave them water or groceries that they need. I mean they did just risk their life!
Video from 2016, before the GANGSTER crackdown.
El salvador, Bolivia Columbia , Venezuela r equally vulnerable.many countries worldwide are not safe where various types of crime r rampant. We r more uncivilized than bafore.
Recently there was a man from Chile who was interested in dating me, an American woman. On our second date he told me his aunt was shot by her husband at the time because he 'thought' she cheated. She actually didn't cheat nor had an affair. Luckily, she survived the assault but was paralyzed from the waist down. According to this Latino man his aunt was extremely beautiful and still was even after the assault. It's about control and the Catholic church brainwashed those people.
This Latino guy would not respect my set boundaries like calling me past a certain time or calling and not leaving a message when I requested he not. I told him I go to bed at a time during the week
I found it odd that he would lie about little things. When we talked he would say immature things like I called because you asked me to call you or say he couldn't be calling me all the time.. I never asked him to call me actually. I only went on two dates but there were lots of red flags.
Western women have a lot of individual Rights, individual Freedoms, and have the Right to pursue our own definition of Happiness especially in the Scandinavian Nordic countries. These Freedoms should NEVER be taken for granted, EVER!
I will say women who come to The West from these patriarchal countries can be worse than the males sometimes and actually uphold such oppressive regimes like #HonorCode #ArrangedMarriages #CasteSystem #KafalaSystem
#Femincide #PassiveAggressive
Honduras as well
I'm surprised this wasn't in Honduras, because that's happening a lot alot over there @@christinabrown6442
BOLIVIA!!! really why include my country its not even that bad as the title claims, also the video is 8 years old ago
At least read the description, this was a video from 2016, before we sent 75,000 gangsters to prison. Things are safe now, this motherf are not able to harm us anymore.
Just as a reminder this is no longer an issue in El Salvador, this episode is from 2016.
That "ay sii" got me... Que trauma
To anyone who is worried rightow... this video was filmed back in 2016, this film is about 7 or 8 years old. Nowadays el salvador is a much safer country thanks to bukele... i have friends over there they say it's the first time in their life they can breathe calmly ( of course never letting their guard down). My heart goes to all of these victims and their families.
My Dad is from Salvador he would always tell me and my brothers stories of how it was back then when he was small. What him and my grandpa would find in the jungles, what they saw in the streets.
THANK YOU. us female is literally the most oppressed gender out of all two.
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn motherless behavior
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn You click on a video that thoroughly describes why women can slip into further danger than men but your unwise self still says "BS". Do better, stop shaming your mother.
@@homeland1128no it’s fatherless behavior. Males are more likely to abandon their kids because they are selfish and useless
@DonnellOkafor-pd7ynWhat are you, a male or something?
.
It's so sad to see this. The men in the bar, omg, their opinions are hard to listen. Blaming the victims all time.
And claiming masculinity 😮
"If it wasn't for sex, men and women would've killed each other off long ago." -- G.B. Shaw, Irish playwright.
I mean it wouldve been mainly men doing the killing lets be real here. We are so much above women in their ability its extremely unfair, which is why it is considered a mans responsibility to protect women. Because we can.
I just dont get why. We are all equally human, all that is different is what role we play in reproduction. Our brains truly work the same, we just get socialized differently. Is it not easier to just get along and treat each other with love? We are made to love each other after all, at the very least in order to raise children together. Ill never understand how men can stand to mistreat women
This was so difficult to watch. Thank you for doing this story. Keep spreading the awareness.
the lady confirming the body killed me inside.. i hope she’s okay.
This is sick and heartbreaking
8:19 so I totally get her saying when she was on a gang she felt strong and like she had a family, but if she’s in a gang abd she knows these things are happening to other women in the other gangs when they’re captured, wouldn’t she be scared of those things happening to her?
El Salvador just finished building Cecot (Centre for the Confinement of Terrorism), the largest prison in Latin America to try and handle gangs in El Salvador. It's been called the "mega prison". If there's ever a total breakout as just happened in Haiti, either the military will have to fully mobilize or the count will be overrun. With all the gangs having massive members in the US, it will be an international threat.
It won't stop the gangs they will cintinue to run things in the country from one city to another
im hearing that a lot of sa countries are dumping their prison populations --- which are headed straight for the north continent
Yep! Kiss goodbye the US you knew before....
I have a cousin who works for the FBI and he told me also, whenever he has a Latin America gang member in custody, most specifically from El Salvador, and question them, they said that also because men aren't being appreciated ever. Some men go there whole life without a compliment from women. A thank you, a kiss, hug or even a gift from a woman. No matter how hard they work or sacrifice. That's also why some gang killing towards women are so violent. Sorry for bad English, still learning.
What a disgusting culture.
That's gang culture for you, it was disgusting.
this video is from 2016 its different now
As a Latino born and raised i pray and hope that Americans learn that this is part of what is going through the border, not all of them of course but this way of living and sick state of mind is coming to America. Our Latin countries are all like this because of us and politics corruption. America closed your borders yesterday.
thanks xenophobe! id like to know how almighty and great you have been to women in your life sweetie... youre not special, youre one of them , Saludos desde lima.
There’s mass deportations coming. That’s what these Latinos don’t see coming.
@@patriciatapia1710 I really don't know what to respond, due to how I relevant your opinion is.
@@423alonso you being a xenophobe isn't irrelevant. You are breeding hate. So , try and insult or hurt me all u want, sigues siendo un xenófobo. May the lord forgive you.
@@patriciatapia1710 I genuinely wish i could make sense of what you are trying to say or accused me of, never did i intended to make fun or spread hate. I am a product of a single mother, father of three incredible women's, a brother of an amazing strong sister and influence by many other women's in my life. Your comment is completely unfair, i am only expressing the truth about what i lived and know about our countries, you have the right to disagree with me that is God's giving right to you and me but do me a favor and find out how many women and children have been abused and sold in Peru today, how many children went to bed hungry today, what's the value of a young girl in Peru today please enlightened me.
Very sad, I once had a Honduran coworker who was cheating on his present wife with the mother of his first child. She found out and called him while we were on a jobsite saying that she was gonna cheat on him to get even. This fool said that he would beat her down but in vulgar words. I told him that I have a little girl, and if any other man Lay a hand on my little girl no matter how old she gets that I was prepared to go and sit down for a very long time after I take care out the garbage. I NEVER lay a hand on my wife or daughter, WE as men are here to Protect and Make them feel safe no matter the cost. Btw I’m Islander, our culture is Matriarchal and our women are respected above all.
Can you post an update after all the changes made?
My mom was born in El Salvador in the 60s. The stories she's told me of what young men and women had gone through before death are truly horrific. they had no mercy. they'd even tortured pregnant women horrifically. She left to the states in her late 20s for safer life.
Thank goodness for president Bukele I personally am married to a salvadorian and I so glad it is safe enough now that our family can go visit his home country
Shocking.....absolutely shocking 💔 Thank you for being brave enough to show the World what is happening to these poor women.
Video from 2016, those 75,000 gangsters are in prison now, this ISN'T our reality anymore.
(This video was released in 2016) For all those wondering, the homicide rate in El Salvador has dropped significantly, becoming one of the least homicides in the entire world due to the new president. There isn’t any new statistic reports on femicide but has most likely significantly decreased due to tens of thousands of gang members being incarcerated
Didn’t their homicide rate get to be one of the lowest in the world?
Maybe the killers moved to America
@@PennyMsElite or or hear met out, they traded it to have one of the highest incarceration rate in the world
This episode is from 2017. Theyre reuploading because vice went bankrupt
Fake news
@@SapBoy365the description says when this is from 🙄
Despite the efforts with curbing GANG violence, Nayib Bukele has done NOTHING to protect the women of his country. Considering he had a wife and two VERY YOUNG daughters at home you would think he would be making reforms in Women’s Rights.
It is still illegal to get an abortion in El Salvador and punishable up to one year in prison.
Nothing? Do you think getting rid of this kind of men and this gang culture is nothing to you?
This is a genuinely dumb comment
It's the same in Honduras, and all over central/south america. MS-13 is very dominant. My wife works in Honduras as a missionary teaching english and art to impoverished children. I worry so much when she leaves to go to Honduras and I don't stop worrying till she comes home. But she loves the work she does and has incredible bonds with the children. The whole goal is to give the kids the tools they need to lift their own communities out of poverty. Every single child she works with has been horrifically abused. Especially the little girls. The church works very hard to keep them safe but nothing is guaranteed. I'll be going with her on the next trip as I see the impact her work is having. One child at a time.
How much does any one want to bet that some of these guys are in the states right now in a migrant shelter, waiting to bring their reign of terror on any woman unlucky enough to cross their path?
EXACTLY!!!
Fact.
Most definitely!
Source: i got it out of my a**
Wow.This was chilling. Bless those mothers & the woman who are trying to make progress in law enforcement & in the political realm. Thanks for shedding light on this.
For something that happened before the new regime? Do you understand that all those monsters are behind bars now, right?
This video is from 2016, these 75,000 gangsters are in prison now, we can finally live in peace.
@@Valentina.Montano Hi 👋🏾Oh like the President Bukele & law enforcement? How are things going there? I have met people from Mexico, PR, & Guatemala but I personally haven't spoken w/any one from El Salvador so my knowledge of current events there are very limited. Are the femicide rates substantially lower now? Were the 75,000 gangsters all apprehended by law enforcement during Bukle since he's been in office. Do women have better health/life expectancy now or feel more comfortable reaching out to police officers there, since that was one of the things this documentary mentioned about more women officers to help certain cases. Is it safer for travel for even U.S citizens or what? Any responses to these q's would be appreciated.🙌🏾
We all came from a woman!! This is the respect and thanks they get from bringing them into the world!...SMH😢
I understand your argument and everyone should be respected I agree but that isn’t a good argument it’s not like ppl were asked to be born
u also originated from a man's balls so chill
@@jeremiahlumpiin4441No people wasn’t ask to me born but without Women none of these men would be there !
Our little town here in Texas is now full of men from el Salvador...lovely!! Thanks for the warning!
If they're gangsters report them to the Salvadoran Embassy, they can be sent back home to prison for gang affiliations. This behavior is gang related, not Salvadoran culture.
I feel like half male population of this country should be arrested. And that's crazy, because for this kind of actions you would have been already in jail in another country.
Well, prob 10-15% were since the recent crakcdown on gangs, lol. This was filmed in 2016
Those GANGSTERS are already in prison, 75,000 of them in fact, they represent 1% of the population though, not even close to your assumed 50%.
@@dyawr 1% in fact.
@@Valentina.Montano Aha, ok. So it would be 2% of the male population, assuming it's 50-50% males and females.
@@Valentina.Montano I was calculating based on the fact that I heard 5% of El Salvador's population is in prison, and I assume 95% are men.
I hope things have changed with the new regime. El Salvador was a country of lawlessness.
A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. This treatment of women has no excuse- machismo be damned.
This was gang culture, the video is from 2016, we sent 75,000 of them to prison in 2023, things have changed drastically.
SO SAD AND DOESN'T MAKE SINCE US MEN WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT WASNT FOR A WOMEN. THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!! 😠 😡 😔 😟 🙁 😥 ❤️🙏
Women in Europe and whites countries have literally ruined the whole of Europe voting for massmigration since they got the right to vote
This is from 2016. Things are a lot better now because of the new president cracking down on crime.
Maybe they’re mad at women for bringing them here.
And they wouldn’t be here without us. Don’t forget you need sperm to inseminate the egg let’s not act like everything begins with them.
@@shottakush8404 everything does begin with the female, the Y chromosome you have came from the X chromosome.
This episode of Woman first aired on VICE TV in 2016.
Yes, it states this in the description. ❤️
Thank you I've seen the comments now
No, no, but can someone PLEASE explain _why_ these documentaries are released like 10, 15 years after they are filmed??
This comment is the only comment i've read that points out these release delays.
i've asked this question countless times on multiple documentaries that also have only been filmed like 10 years ago and only recently released, and _no_ one replies.
if its not like they only release it to be watched for the public to watch it for free after they release it on PAID platforms like netflix, i really really don't understand why they want to want freaking 10 years to release it.
either people for some bizzare reason think releasing documentaries 10-20 yrs to the public after filming it is _normal_ , or my comments havent actually been posted. idk. this world is weird i swear.
@@dbuc4671 1) 2016 was not 10, 15, or 20 years ago. 2) You can post comments, but you're not owed an answer. 3) There is no harm in re-releasing documentaries a few years later, especially when the description states when the documentary was filmed.
@@amyparker9816 1) I'm only talking about this specific one. there are tons of documentaries out there, released only recently, that were filmed in the 2000s and 2010s. i wouldnt ask a question like this if this documentary was the ONLY one I found that was this old. obviously i would have to have seen like at least 5 or 10 or more that are filmed such a long time ago, to begin to really wonder and question and wanna know why they do it.
2) I'm not expecting _anyone_ to answer me, nor does anyone _owe_ me anyone, but it would be nice to have some answers. Similar to how it would be _nice_ to have a seat on a full bus, but you aren't _expecting_ anyone to give one up for u.
3) answered it, i never knew they actually repost past videos.
God bless this incredible strong interviewer. How scary.
16:45 I got to know the woman in this news, she was murdered along with her grandmother who was over 80 years old by the gang members (who killed them some time later) in mid-2015, she came to my house several times, she was a partner of my uncle who At that time he left the country (if he had been there, it is possible that he would have died too), seeing what the country was like almost 10 years ago and seeing how extremely safe it is now leaves me thinking about how this country was and That is, the role of women has taken on a lot of relevance since then, however, I consider that not only here but also in Latin America, and also in the U.S., women upload videos and content exposing themselves explicitly (whether in TikTok, etc.) making machisha behavior still present. Returning to the topic of this video from 2016 and the woman whose name was Soila was quite tragic due to the impact it brought, but now these years that the government managed to eradicate the gangs in this country have also made me think about the times I was that they would kill me too, it is good that the country is changing for the better, but there is still a long way to go, the gangs are not only the problem, it was the biggest, because there is still a lot to do in terms of health, education and personal culture in El Salvador
This is no longer the case. El Salvador had drastically changed. A complete 180 turnaround. It is now the safest nation in Latin America. One of the safest in the country. The gangs are no longer around. They have been dismantled by the current president and law reforms.
Incredible how the country has turned 180 in less than a decade .
Why do you all constantly do such a terrible job hiding people's identity? WTF! It's almost like you want people to be found out so you can add more drama to your stories.
Violence from El Salvador is here in the united states I have been abused by an el Salvador family since I was 12 years and it still continues
10:22 to me, this is the most chilling part of this doc. This grown man has a 15 year old child girlfriend who he beats, and is the mother of his child. And he’s thought about killing her. Disgusting!
