Forced Consent: The IUD Policy in Greenland

This chapter examines the coercive government policies in Denmark that led to the non-consensual insertion of IUDs in Greenlandic women from 1966 to 1970. Through personal testimonies, it reveals the emotional and physical trauma faced by young women subjected to these procedures, often without their knowledge. The narrative emphasizes the lasting impact of these actions on individual lives and the ongoing fight for justice and acknowledgment from the Danish state.
