Henriette Berthelsen poses for a photo at her home in Birkerod, Denmark, on April 18, 2024. Berthelsen was separated from her family at age 11 and soon forced to wear a coil, a trauma she buried deep inside until she and 142 other Greenlandic women sued the Danish state. Now 66, Berthelsen is one of the 143 Greenland Inuits who have sued the Danish state for violating their rights during its forced contraception campaign from the 1960s to 1980. Some 4,500 fertile women were forced to undergo the procedure, often without their or their family's consent. Denmark carried out the campaign to limit the birth rate in the Arctic territory, which had not been its colony since 1953 but was still under its control.
