Denmark approves pay for Greenlandic women in sterilization scandal
Financial compensation has been approved for around 4,500 women in Greenland who were harmed by a scandal involving the forced implantation of contraceptive devices between 1960 and 1991. This comes as part of Denmark's restitution plan, which previously managed healthcare operations on the island. The compensation amounts to approximately 40,000 euros for each woman, in light of Danish authorities' forced population control measures using contraception without women's consent. This reflects a long-standing colonial legacy and tense relations between Denmark and Greenland. The decision follows an official apology from both Denmark and Greenland regarding the issue, amid increasing criticism over human rights violations against the indigenous population.
