Three years ago, a Danish podcast unveiled a shocking chapter in Denmark's operation in Greenland, known as the IUD scandal. This program, which occurred during the 1960s and 70s, enforced compulsory birth control through intrauterine devices on thousands of young women, including minors. Although Greenland was no longer a Danish colony, it remained a province, lacking autonomy until later years. Affected women, such as Henriette Berthelsen, are now seeking compensation and an apology, reclaiming their dignity and highlighting the long-term psychological and physical effects of the Danish government's actions.
