This is awful, continued until fairly recently and has only just come to light.

What kind of nation forcibly sterilises girls as young as 12 to cut welfare bills? https://mol.im/a/12738369 via https://dailym.ai/android

Lots of people were involved. How did any think it was acceptable.

What kind of nation forcibly sterilises girls as young as 12?

Like many teenagers, 15-year-old Arnaq took a part-time job in a local shop to earn some money. Appallingly, though, the store manager sexually assaulted her six times over the next two years.

This does not surprise me about Denmark, I am afraid. It is not the open and welcoming society it purports to be, not at all.

(To be fair the Guardian has covered this.)

I didn't know the Americans have long had designs on Greenland.

The Nordics have a history of discrimination against arctic nomads within their territories. Sami women were also sterilised.

A Swedish friend of mine says they have a ruthless streak because they were dirt poor up to WW2. There was little tolerance for anyone who didn't measure up.

Mind bogglingly awful for the individual women in this story.

It's absolutely disgusting.

Can't believe something like this has been happening as recent as this.

This is frightful! Never heard of it before ,WTF are they about .And why is it being hidden as well .Thank you for bringing it to our attention . Disgusting practice ,as usual men get off scot free!

Indigenous Arctic populations are being utterly screwed by these bastards. Canada's preferred MO is invasive surgery though.

“You'd think the Guardian would be all over it”

The Guardian?! Only cares if the women are stunning and brave.

Canada have been doing it for decades to indigenous women particularly in the northern territories, too. When you look at population density of those communities in Canada and Greenland, it's really chilling to see how many indigenous northern races have been almost wiped out with this barbaric practice.
I thought "forced sterilisation" came under eugenics laws and yet respectable-seeming "civilised" countries are doing it to their own people. It's evil. And it's mainly being done to women.

Omg what have I just read?! 😱😢Those poor girls, innocent of anything yet the males who take advantage of them are untouched!

This is a horrific story. It should be huge. Why am I only seeing it in the 'problematic' DM. You'd think the Guardian would be all over it. Little girls fitted with intimate medical devices designed for use in women after childbirth! No consent from either the children or their parents.

DerekFaker · 12/11/2023 12:42

Absolutely horrendous.

OldTinHat · 12/11/2023 12:42

I am absolutely lost for words. This is horrific.

TinselAngel · 12/11/2023 12:39

Wow I had no idea about any of that.

Helleofabore · 12/11/2023 12:25

I remember reading something about this. It is horrific. Thank you needmoresleep for posting.
