Over 350 Greenlandic women and girls forcibly given contraception by Danish officials, report says

More than 350 Greenlandic Indigenous women and girls, including some 12 years old and younger, were forcibly given contraception by Danish health authorities in cases that date back to the 1960s, according to an independent report released Tuesday. The governments of Denmark and Greenland officially apologized last month for their roles in the historic mistreatment in an apparent attempt to get out ahead of the highly anticipated report, which covered 488 instances of forced contraception between 1960 and the end of 1991. Nearly 150 Inuit women last year sued Denmark and filed compensation claims against its health ministry, saying Danish health authorities violated their human rights.
