Denmark to Compensate Greenlandic Women for Decades-Long Forced Birth Control Campaign

On December 10, 2025, Denmark announced individual compensation for Greenlandic women subjected to an involuntary birth control campaign dating to the 1960s. The decision follows Prime Minister Frederiksen's August 2025 apology acknowledging state responsibility. A 2023 formal claim by affected women catalyzed the process. Compensation amounts, eligibility criteria, and disbursement timelines remain unspecified.
