Greenland is a contraceptive scandal, a scandal hearing the apology of the Danish emotional prime minister

Dozens of women in Greenland, Prime Minister of Denmark, Metty Friedriksen, officially apologized for a scandal that included thousands of Init women who were subjected to birth control rules, as part of the controversial birth control program during the 1960s and 1970s.

“Dear women, dear families. Dear Greenland. Today, there is only one right to say to you. Sorry,” Friedriksen said in a crowded place in the center of the capital.

During an emotionally charged event, one of the women stood with her back to the Prime Minister in protest, and she was made a black handmade hand drawn through her mouth.

“Sorry for the injustice he committed against you,” said Friedrixen. “Because you were Greenland. Sorry for what was taken from you. And for the pain that caused it,” she continued. “On behalf of Denmark. Sorry.”

Naga Leberth, who was one of the first Innet Greenlands to talk about, received about what happened, an existing applause on Wednesday.

“If we want to move forward, the apology is very important,” she said.

Earlier this month, the official investigation concluded that at least 4000 women were planted by 1970, which correspond to nearly half of the green females in the reproductive age.

In more than 300 cases examined by the investigation, women and girls at the age of 12 were provided with the inclination of the IUD without their knowledge or consent.

Welcoming to apologizing to Friedrixen and the investigation, was very important because he did not explore the potential human rights violations.

Friedrixen admitted that many women lived in shock and physical complications, and that some were unable to have children.

Among the women called the Prime Minister in her speech, Elissa Christinon, who listened to the leader’s words carefully and found her apology “very overwhelming”.

Although she said she was still taking it, BBC told: “There was no mention of compensation at all, we are sad about it. It was almost like empty words.”

Before an apology on Wednesday, Mette Frederiksen issued a statement specifying plans to create a “reconciliation box”, but it is not yet clear that the number of women to be presented to them, or whenever that will happen.

He also suggested that there will be batches to other Greenlanders who were “exposed to systematic failure and discrimination”, but they did not give more details.

A lawsuit has been filed for compensation by a group of 143 women.

Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, then it became a province in Denmark, before obtaining a ruling on his land in 1979. However, Copenhagen supervised the health care system until 1992, when Greenland took over.

Aviak Petsen was twenty -four years old when she was told by a gynecologist, during a routine medical date, that she had an IUD.

Now 59, Petersen believes that the device has been inserted without its knowledge, during abortion 10 years ago.

Doctors later found scars on its Fallopian tubes, and despite the operations they were unable to have children.

She was skeptical at the time of the Danish apology, but she hopes to see the official reconciliation process.

“You didn’t ask. You did not have the opportunity to speak publicly. You haven’t heard. You didn’t see,” said Prime Minister Gennland, Jennis Friedrich Nielsen, adding that he was one of the darkest seasons in the country’s history.

Friedriksen apologizes amid a scrutiny in Denmark’s relationship with Greenland and an growing international pressure, especially after President Donald Trump’s repeated demands to control the Arctic lands.

The IUD issue is one of the many historical and current differences, including forced adoption that has harmful to Danish and Grin.

Recently, another flash point included the removal of children of Invent from their families after the “Efficiency and Motherhood” tests.

This week, the decision of the Danish authorities to separate the mother of a young Greenland from her newly born daughter – after one hour of birth – was reflected after the case paid anger.

For Elissa Christinn, the official apology to Denmark brought emotions. “The little girl inside me, and for the first time she felt that she embraced a little of society.

“But for Elisa, I don’t know (how) I use this apology. Where are the children and grandchildren I have?”
