Greenland, breaking the silence: The scandal of Denmark’s forced contraception campaign

In 1960s Greenland, thousands of young Inuit girls – some barely teenagers – were sent to hospital. Without giving an explanation or obtaining their consent, Danish doctors fitted them with IUDs, a painful procedure that left lifelong scars. In total, more than 4,500 Greenlandic women were victims of this mass forced contraception campaign orchestrated by the Danish authorities. FRANCE 24’s Sarah Andersen met with victims now demanding justice.
