Denmark and Greenland Apologize for the forced placement of contraception in Thousands of Women and Girls From Greenland. The Danish Government Wanted to Curb population Growth in This Way.
For a long time, IUDs were placed in Girls and Women of the Inuit in an Attempt to Curb the Growth of the Inuit Population. Many patients were never told what had bone put into them. It Happened Mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, But the Campaign Lasted Until 1992.
At that time, Denmark was a still response for healthcare in Greenland. But there are also examples from the time when Greenland itself regulated healthcare. That is Why Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen Expresses Regret in the Same Statement AS Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
“We cannot change what happened. But we can take our response. That is why I sacrifice my apologies on Behalf of Denmark,” Writes the Danish Prime Minister. Fredriksen acknowledges that this scandal has led to anger and sadness for many greenlanders. “It is too late and not enough,” Says Nielsen.
The Iud Scandal Only Came to Light in 2020. There Has Been A Demand for Official Apologies for Years, Writes The Danish Broadcaster Dr. Last year, 143 Inuit Women SUED Denmark. They stated that the country had violated their human rights. Denmark and Greenland are investigating what happened in the period from 1960 to 1991. The results are expected in September.
