Greenland wants reconciliation commission after new report on forced contraception

RTP Notícias29 August 2026 at 10:50

Greenland announced its intention to create a reconciliation commission, following the publication of an expert report on the forced contraception campaign that was promoted by Denmark in the territory.

The report, prepared by experts, analyzed the birth control policies implemented by Denmark in Greenland, but did not reach a conclusion on whether these measures could be qualified as genocide.

The study's conclusions were recently presented, generating reactions in the Greenlandic territory, which considered it necessary to move forward with a reconciliation process regarding its past.

The creation of the commission comes as a response to the revelations about forced contraception practices, in an effort to address the historical consequences of these policies in the Danish autonomous territory.
