Denmark’s PM Offers Apology for Forced Contraception of Inuit Women

Denmark’s Prime Minister has issued a formal apology for the systematic forced sterilization of approximately 4,500 Inuit women in Greenland during the period from 1960 to 1992. The controversial policy, which was part of a broader government initiative to control Indigenous population growth, left many women facing unintended sterilization and long-term health consequences. The apology comes as part of ongoing efforts to address historical injustices and recognize the trauma inflicted upon affected communities.
