UN experts call for accountability in Greenland forced contraception case
Original: Greenlandic forced contraception case: UN experts say truth, remedy and accountability must remain centred on Inuit women’s rights
UN human rights experts say the Greenlandic forced contraception case must keep truth, remedy and accountability centred on Inuit women's rights. The case concerns Inuit women in Greenland who were fitted with intrauterine devices without their informed consent, historically under Danish-administered programmes. Experts stress that victims deserve recognition, redress and a central role in proceedings. The statement highlights ongoing scrutiny of Denmark and Greenland over the scandal and demands for justice.
Why now: The UN human rights office's statement on the case is prompting renewed attention to a historical injustice affecting Inuit women.
