Denmark's Secret: 4,500 Forced Contraceptions? | JQJO

Denmark's Prime Minister apologized for a systematic campaign in the 1960s and 70s where thousands of Greenlandic Inuit women and girls, some as young as 12, were fitted with contraceptive devices without their knowledge or consent. This birth control program, revealed by a 2022 podcast, severely impacted Greenland's population growth. The apology acknowledges the physical and psychological harm caused, although a formal inquiry's findings are yet to be released. While victims welcome the apology, legal action for compensation continues, with questions remaining about whether the Danish government will acknowledge human rights violations.
