Greenland contraception scandal victims hear Danish PM’s emotional apology

3 comments

1. Posting because this apology is a step in the right direction for Indigenous rights.

   >An official inquiry earlier this month concluded that at least 4,000 women had a coil implanted by 1970, corresponding to roughly half the Greenlandic females of childbearing age.

   >In more than 300 cases examined by the inquiry, women and girls as young as 12 had been fitted with an IUD without their knowledge or consent.

   >Welcoming Frederiksen’s apology and the investigation, Naja Lyberth was also critical that it had not explored possible human rights violations. Frederiksen acknowledged that many women had lived with trauma and physical complications, and that some were not able to have children.

2. > Dozens of women in Greenland have heard Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, formally apologise for a scandal that involved thousands of Inuit women being given contraceptive coils, as part of a controversial birth control programme during the 1960s and 70s.

   > “Dear women. Dear families. Dear Greenland. Today there is only one right thing to say to you. Sorry,”

   ‘Sorry’ for a real life genophage is crazy work

3. Homo Sapiens and how the invasive groups treat the indigenous…how are we so fucking murderous?

   Look at Australia, the US, Canada, Greenland, Old Britain (picts simply…gone, then celtic treatment from English), the Russians and the Udmurt and Altai, Japan and the Ainu…I’m not gonna say monstrosities were only one way, but consider the global similarities.
