Punished for Being a Woman | Medieval Torture They Tried to Forget

In medieval Europe, punishment was not always about justice.
Sometimes, it was about sending a message.

This video explores one of the darkest and most disturbing chapters of history — a time when women’s bodies were used as warnings, tools of control, and symbols of obedience. Beneath churches, fortresses, and courtrooms existed a system designed not just to punish crime, but to silence female voices, sexuality, and independence.

From iron devices shaped specifically for the female body, to punishments meant to humiliate rather than kill, medieval society turned cruelty into theater. These were not random acts of violence — they were sanctioned, normalized, and justified by religion, law, and tradition.

We examine the historical reality behind:
• Gender-specific medieval torture
• Public punishment and humiliation
• Religious control over women
• The myth vs reality of infamous torture devices
• How fear was used to enforce silence

This is not sensational horror.
This is documented history — and the women whose suffering was erased from memory.
