UN human rights experts urge accountability in Denmark's Inuit forced contraception case

UN human rights experts urged Denmark and Greenland to ensure full accountability regarding the historical forced contraception campaign targeting Inuit women.

Between the 1960s and 1990s, thousands of Greenlandic girls and women were fitted with IUDs without their consent under a Danish population control policy.

The scandal came to light following investigative reporting in 2022, leading to formal apologies and compensation claims in domestic courts.
