Greenland presents two awaited reports on a contraception campaign promoted by Denmark between the 1960s and 1990s. The reports will be revealed this Friday, August 28.
The campaign resulted in the placement of intrauterine devices (IUDs) in more than 4,000 Greenlandic women and girls. The practice raises questions about consent and the rights of the women affected.
Denmark is responsible for this campaign, having implemented the forced contraception policy in Greenlandic territory for several decades. Greenland was, at that time, a territory under Danish administration.
The reports promise to reveal the truth about this historical controversy, bringing to light the details and circumstances that involved the forced placement of contraceptive devices in thousands of women.
