Denmark Apologizes for Greenland's Forced Contraception

Denmark issued a formal apology for a historical forced contraception program targeting Greenlandic women.

During the 1960s and 70s, thousands of women, even young girls, endured the trauma of forced birth control.

The Danish government's actions constituted systematic discrimination and inflicted significant physical and emotional harm.

This apology, although belated, represents a crucial step towards addressing the injustices of the past and seeking reconciliation.
