This campaign targeted about half of all Greenlandic women of child-bearing age with the explicit aim of reducing the Inuit birth rate.
The contraception scandal ranks among several sensitive issues affecting Denmark’s relationship with Greenland.
Denmark has recently intensified efforts to improve relations with its strategically important Arctic territory.
