- Unreported World is riding the waves of change in Senegal where young female surfers are trying to smash traditional stereotypes.
Following Khadjou Sambe the west African country’s first professional female surfer, reporter Minnie Stephenson discovers a group of young women and teenagers fighting to get their surf school recognised. But the predominantly Muslim state takes a culturally conservative view on the role of women, with most expected to focus on domestic duties around the home.
Through Khadjou’s story Stephenson hears about the sacrifices and obstacles placed in front of young women trying to take up a traditionally male sport. Physical intimidation by male surfers, and opposition from their families is common. But will the women succeed?

We are way more than food cooking, water toting, clothes washing, baby making machines. You GO girls!!!
Obviously not really. At least where surfing is concerned.
Very uplifting story! Thanks for reporting!
This was never about the girls… its clear the beef with the federation is with the club owners( the coach and the pro). Clearly the community is too deeply religious and hesitant to accommodate them
Senegal Women's equality has just received a massive wave in fruition.
Black Girls Surf. The title alone has upset so many racist. Great to see this report and to see black woman in Africa 🏄🏽♀️ 🌊 you go ladies!! The hate from ignorant people can be the wind in your back to propel you to great heights. 👍🏽 ❤
I'm a surfer. Don't describe me by the color of my black skin, you racist.
Why is it called black girls surf? For one its Africa, and two it's the religious doctrine of their country is stifling their creativity, nothing to do with their colour.
As a back American woman to me its deeper than just race for these women. Deeper than them being black girls surfing.
They are going against cultural standards and roles set for them in their country and or ethnic group. And for a lot of Islamic African countries against religion on top of that.
Sometimes I think we need to stop simplifying a matter or subject we do not understand or has more layers to it. To fit our mindset in the west.
This isn't about racism. It's about sexism. She's upsetting men. Black men are their oppressors. There aren't white people in her country
🤎🤎🤎🤎 hope they make it to the Olympics someday
Never give up on your dreams.
Go GIRL!!! POWER!!!!!!!
Go weak surfers!!!
This video won’t play. I’ve tried several times.
I never thought surfing was sexist.
I hope for more good things to happend for these girls.
When she says she doesn't give up because she's doing it for the next generation... for the women... wow! Khadjou, we are with you!!🙌
❤️🙌👏👏👏
Those conservative Muslims say they don't want women to surf because they want women to marry instead. But a lot of men want a woman who surfs.
😂😂 u killed me with this one
Full Burbling, Ride On!
❤🤙

try bobsled
She has very low center of gravity.. imagine she fell on her but a lot starting out
Gals usually are. Bet everyone falls a lot at first, I'm sure I would. Good handle there, punch up for sure!
what the black activists have to say about equality for black women in a country predominantly black?
An otherwise great documentary was undermined by the use of the word gender instead of sex. These young women face discrimination on the grounds of sex. The concept of Gender and gender discrimination reinforces harmful stereotypes these young women are fighting
let it go
I'm a poor man I made this channel to help my family👨👨👧👦❤🙏💖❣🙏🙏💖💖
These girls should be free to surf. But let me add, you don’t have to be a Muslim to protest a show showing a beautiful woman as some mistress; who produced it…a MAN!!! I believe such a show is a horrid example of a liberated woman! That is CRAP! In my opinion, this episode seems to show two extremes: extremely religious and almost extremely feminist.
As long as they All stay with the Commandments of GOD JESUS CHRIST their fine, there's nothing in Scripture that says a woman cannot surf , in fact it might help in a desaster
Such propaganda
What's the message, guess I missed it
In what way?
That is sexism, why do you even have to mention that they are girls?And why only make a documentation about girls?
clearly you didnt watch it - thats the point about it being girls.
Clearly you didnt watch the documenatry and dont even understand what sexism is
No one cares. First
Ok David, great contribution.
