Title
‘Like knives penetrating me’: Greenland’s victims of forced contraception seek justice
Abstract
In the late 1960s, Denmark implemented a brutal contraceptive policy to limit births in its former colony of Greenland, forcing thousands of teenage girls to have IUDs inserted without their consent. After decades of repressing their trauma, the women are now speaking out and demanding reparation.
