Denmark’s Phony Progressive Paradise: The Ugly Truth About Sterilizing Greenland’s Inuit Women

Listen up, folks, because if there’s one thing that grinds my gears, it’s sanctimonious Europeans strutting around like they’ve got the moral high ground while hiding skeletons in their colonial closets the size of icebergs. Denmark, that smug little kingdom that loves to lecture the world on equality, human rights, and all that feel-good socialist nonsense, has been caught with its pants down in one of the most barbaric scandals of the modern era. We’re talking about the forced sterilization of over 4,500 women and girls in Greenland—mostly native Inuit—without their consent, knowledge, or a shred of decency. This wasn’t some ancient history; it ran from the 1960s right up into the 1990s. And now, in 2026, with fresh revelations pouring out, it’s clear the Danes are still squirming to sweep it under the rug. Buckle up as we dive into this outrage, why it happened, and what Denmark’s doing—or not doing—about it.

The Brutal “Coil Campaign” That Stole Futures

Picture this: It’s the late 1960s, and Denmark’s doctors are rolling into Greenland like they’re on a mission from hell. They target young Inuit girls—some as young as 12 or 13—pulling them out of school for what they call “routine check-ups.” Next thing you know, these kids are waking up with intrauterine devices jammed inside them, or worse, getting injections that leave them infertile for life. No explanations, no choices, just a cold, calculated assault on their bodies. By 1970, the peak of this nightmare, Danish authorities had implanted IUDs in roughly half of Greenland’s fertile women—over 4,500 in total, according to the damning reports that finally surfaced.

But it didn’t stop there. Practices dragged on into the 1990s, with unauthorized tubal ligations, forced abortions, and other horrors tacked on. Women reported infections, chronic pain, and the heartbreaking realization years later that they couldn’t have children. One investigation tallied 410 cases with direct testimonies, 349 of them involving serious health complications. This wasn’t medical care; it was ethnic engineering disguised as public health. And let’s not forget the “Little Danes” experiment from the 1950s to the 1970s, where Danish officials snatched Greenlandic kids from their families, shipped them to Denmark for forced assimilation, and treated them like lab rats in some twisted social experiment. Families ripped apart, lives destroyed—all in the name of “civilizing” the natives.

Why Denmark Pulled This Eugenics Stunt

Denmark likes to paint itself as a beacon of progressive values—free education, cradle-to-grave welfare, all that jazz. But scratch the surface, and you find a colonial overlord terrified of losing control. Greenland shook off direct colonial status in 1953, but Denmark kept a iron grip on key sectors like healthcare until 1992. Back then, Greenland’s birth rate was skyrocketing—seven kids per woman on average—while Denmark was fretting about overpopulation straining its welfare budget. Officials worried a booming Inuit population would demand more resources, more autonomy, maybe even full independence. Can’t have that, right? Better to nip it in the bud—literally.

This was straight-up population control with a racist twist. The Inuit, making up 90 percent of Greenland’s 56,000 people, were seen as a problem to be managed, not equals to be respected. It echoed the worst of 20th-century eugenics, where “superior” Europeans decided who gets to reproduce. Denmark’s leaders justified it as “modernization,” but it was colonialism on steroids—keeping the territory dependent, the people subdued, and the resources flowing back to Copenhagen. Fast-forward to today, and the fallout is brutal: sky-high suicide rates at 81 per 100,000 annually, rampant addiction, and communities still reeling from generational trauma.

Denmark’s Pathetic Attempts at Damage Control

So, what’s Denmark doing about this atrocity now that the world’s finally paying attention? Well, after years of stonewalling, they launched a two-year investigation in 2023, wrapping up with a 350-page report in September 2025. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen trotted out an apology that month, calling it “systematic discrimination” and expressing regret for the pain caused. Sounds heartfelt? Don’t buy it—it’s the bare minimum after 143 women (138 of them underage at the time) sued the Danish government in 2024, demanding justice.

Then, in December 2025, Denmark announced compensation: a measly 300,000 Danish kroner—about $46,000—per victim. Victims like native Greenlander Amarok Petersen aren’t impressed, calling it an “insult” that trivializes the theft of entire bloodlines. And get this: as of January 2026, fresh voices from Greenland are blasting Danish rule for ongoing woes, like moldy government housing with sky-high rents eating up incomes, and economic exploitation where Inuit fishermen get peanuts—$1.86 per kilo for cod—while Danish firms rake in profits abroad. Greenlanders are shouting “they stole our future,” pushing for real independence, not more colonial hand-holding.

The Bottom Line: Time for Greenland to Break Free

Denmark’s facade as a “civilized” nation with “forward-looking values” is shattered. This scandal exposes the hypocrisy of European elites who virtue-signal while clinging to imperial relics. From an America First view, it’s a reminder that true freedom means ditching overlords who treat you like second-class citizens. Greenland deserves better—self-determination, not apologies and pocket change. If the Danes won’t step up, maybe it’s time for the Inuit to chart their own course. After all, in a world full of phonies, real justice starts with owning your destiny.
