3 October 2023 at 04:49 Women from Greenland are suing the Danish state 67 Greenlandic women are suing the Danish state and demanding NOK 300,000 each in compensation, after several thousand women of childbearing age had IUDs inserted in the 60s and 70s, writes DR. Danish authorities were concerned about the costs of a population increase in Greenland and had Danish doctors insert IUDs in fertile women, many without their consent or the women knowing about it. The subpoena comes before a research team from Greenland and Denmark has finished investigating the legal basis for IUD insertions in Greenland – I believe there is enough documentation to establish that there have already been violations, says the woman’s defender Mads Pramming to P1 Morning. He has delivered the summons to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
