Danish leader apologises over forced contraception scandal
The Guardian
|August 28, 2025
The Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has apologised for the first time for the forced contraception scandal in which thousands of Greenlandic girls and women were fitted with contraceptive coils without their permission or knowledge.
Describing it as "systemic discrimination" against women and girls in the hands of the Danish healthcare system, Frederiksen said that because they were Greenlandic they were subjected to "physical and psychological harm".
Some of the women were as young as 12 when they were fitted with an intrauterine device (IUD) by Danish doctors in an attempt to reduce the population of Greenland, which until 1953 was a Danish colony and did not gain control of its healthcare system until 1992.
It is believed that 4,500 women and girls were affected between 1966 and 1970. Greenland's former prime minister, Múte Egede, has described the IUD scandal as a genocide.
