COPENHAGEN, Oct 2 (Reuters) - A group of women in Greenland are seeking compensation from Denmark over an involuntary birth control campaign launched in the 1960s, their lawyer said on Monday.
With an official investigation by the governments of Greenland and its former colonial ruler Denmark not due to report until May 2025, the group are seeking compensation now, given some of the women are in their 70s and 80s.
“What do we need it for when we clearly know that there have been violations of the law and human rights,” Naja Lyberth, one of the women seeking compensation, told Reuters.
The scandal came to light when Danish broadcaster DR reported last year that records showed that, between 1966 and 1970, 4,500 intrauterine devices were fitted into women and girls as young as 13, without their knowledge or consent.
He sent the claim to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s, office on behalf of the women on Monday.
Allegations of misconduct by Danish authorities against the people of its former colony have emerged in recent years.
