“ | Still today, masters lend their slaves' labor to other individuals, female slaves are sexually exploited and children are made to work and rarely receive an education. Slavery particularly affects women and children, who are the most vulnerable among the vulnerable. Women of child-bearing age have a harder time emancipating because they are producers of slave labor and perceived as extremely valuable. | ” | |

Obstacles to ending slavery in Mauritania include:
The difficulty of enforcing any laws in the country's vast desert
Poverty that limits opportunities for slaves to support themselves if freed
Belief that slavery is part of the natural order of this society.
In November 2016, an appeals court in Mauritania overturned the jail convictions of three anti-slavery activists and reduced the sentences of 10 others for their alleged role in a riot in June, Amnesty International said. Another court had originally sentenced the 15 human rights activists and members of the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement (IRA) to 15 years in prison.

Human rights
The Abdallahi government was widely perceived as corrupt and restricted access to government information. Sexism, racism, female genital mutilation, child labour, human trafficking, and the political marginalization of largely southern-based ethnic groups continued to be problems. Homosexuality is illegal and is a capital offense in Mauritania.
Following the 2008 coup, the military government of Mauritania faced severe international sanctions and internal unrest. Amnesty International accused it of practicing coordinated torture against criminal and political detainees. Amnesty has accused the Mauritanian legal system, both before and after the 2008 coup, of functioning with complete disregard for legal procedure, fair trial, or humane imprisonment. The organization has said that the Mauritanian government has practiced institutionalized and continuous use of torture throughout its post-independence history, under all its leaders.

This prominent circular feature, known as the Richat Structure, in
the Sahara desert of Mauritania is often noted by astronauts because it
forms a conspicuous bull's-eye on the otherwise rather featureless
expanse of the desert.

Reportage Mauritania: la tradizione dell’arte al femminile.
Così, davanti a infinite tazze di tè, Mohammed ci racconta di quando questo territorio della Repubblica Islamica della Mauritania, che si protende verso il fiume Senegal, non era un pezzo d'Africa dimenticata. Qui, intorno all'VIII secolo, si sviluppò il primo impero nero storicamente conosciuto. I suoi abitanti, di etnia Soninké, lo chiamavano Wagadou (terra della mandrie” in lingua mande), ma in Europa divenne famoso con il temine di regno del Ghana (il “Re Guerriero”). L’impero basava la sua ricchezza sullo sfruttamento di misteriose miniere d’oro, la cui ubicazione era tenuta nascosta, e la sua capitale, Kombui Saleh, venne rasa al suolo nel 1076 dalla furia distruttrice degli Almoravidi, monaci guerrieri di fede islamica. Oggi dell’antica capitale rimangono poche rovine, ma i Soninké sono ancora lì e hanno sviluppato un’arte decorativa molto originale all’interno delle loro case. È un’arte al femminile, che le donne si passano di madre in figlia da infinite generazioni. Si tratta di motivi geometrici dai colori pastello che riempiono cucine, camere da letto e corridoi.
