Denmark Apologizes, Offers Reparations for Forced IUDs in Greenland

The Danish government said sorry for putting IUDs (birth control devices) into thousands of Greenlandic women without their permission.

This happened from the 1960s to the 1990s, when Denmark controlled Greenland's healthcare.

The government wanted to lower the birth rate, so doctors inserted IUDs, sometimes without telling the women what they were doing.

Now, the Danish government is giving money to these women to make up for the harm they caused.

This follows a lawsuit from women who were affected by the program.
