WorldGreenland to open truth commission over forced contraception scheme

Greenland’s government says it will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate a campaign of forced contraception carried out by Danish authorities from the 1960s to 1990. Experts have not agreed on whether the practice amounted to genocide. Thousands of Indigenous women and girls received IUDs or contraceptive injections without consent.
