GREENLAND: BREAKING THE SILENCE

In 1960s Greenland, thousands of young Inuit girls were sent to hospital. Without giving an explanation or obtaining their consent, Danish doctors fitted them with IUDs, a painful procedure that left lifelong scars. In total, more than 4,500 Greenlandic women were victims of this mass forced contraception campaign, orchestrated by the Danish authorities.
