Meet the world's shortest woman who is just 72cm tall and on a mission to educate others about her rare form of dwarfism - via YouTube.

Wildine Aumoithe, 19, is just 72cm tall and holds the Guinness World Record for the shortest non-mobile woman in the world.

The high school student has created a YouTube channel detailing her love of fashion and keeping followers up with her day-to-day life.

She was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism known as SADDAN dysplasia but has never let her disability hold her back.

Wildine, from Miami, Florida, US, said: "I don't really walk much anymore because my legs are bowed.

"But I have a power wheelchair which goes up and down which is really an extension of my mobility.

"My mum helps me out with lots of things too, like getting dressed and reaching things high up.

"My mum is like my best friend.

"I've always had a really positive reaction on social media.

"Someone even made a fan page of me."

Wildine had her record confirmed in October 2021.

She is just 28.3 inches tall due to her extremely rare dwarfism which led doctors unsure if she would survive 24 hours after being born.

The student, who suffers with long term health issues due to her condition, said: "I am really proud to be the first Haitian-American to hold a shortest woman world record.
