Denmark and Greenland on Wednesday officially apologized for their roles in the historic mistreatment of Greenlandic Indigenous girls and women, including forced contraception, in cases that date back to the 1960s.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the prime minister of Greenland, said the issue represented “a dark chapter in our history." Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that although the past could not be changed, “we can take responsibility.”
