Balanced News: Women in Greenland ask Denmark for compensation over forced birth control

A group of 67 women from Greenland have filed claims for compensation from the Danish government for being fitted with intrauterine devices (IUDs) without their consent in the 60s and 70s. The IUDs were part of a program organized by Denmark to limit birth rates in Greenland. The women are requesting a reward of about $42,000 each and want recompense before the findings of a commission examining grievances against the Danish state are published in 2025. The government is expected to refuse their requests, which may lead to the matter being taken to court.
