Various cultures impose practices on women that prioritize beauty and social acceptance, such as foot binding in historical China, which created small feet as a symbol of beauty and status. In some African communities, female genital mutilation (FGM) is performed for cultural reasons tied to purity and marriageability. Additionally, the use of skin whitening products is prevalent in parts of Asia and Africa, reflecting societal pressures to conform to certain beauty ideals. These practices often result in significant physical and psychological consequences for women.
