From the late 1960s until 1992, Danish authorities forced around 4,500 Inuit women, around half of all those of child-bearing age, to wear a contraceptive coil — or intrauterine device (IUD) — without their consent.
Wow this is a pretty racist program that went on into the 90s? Shame on you Denmark.
Agreed, but funny coming from a ca instance with the Canadian indigenous boarding schools famously continuing into the 90s as well.
It’s about time that we (Danes) take responsibility for the incident, not only by apologizing, but also by giving reparations.
