I "fact checked" Yes — multiple credible investigations and official statements confirm that this did happen.

🇬🇱 What the evidence shows
Search results document a long‑running Danish birth‑control campaign in Greenland, often called the spiral case (“spiral” meaning IUD in Danish). Key findings include:

Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Greenlandic Inuit girls and women, many without their knowledge or consent, beginning in the 1960s.

Girls as young as 13 — and in some cases even younger — were subjected to the procedure.

The program’s stated purpose was to reduce Greenland’s birth rate and control population growth.

An estimated 4,500 women and girls — roughly half of all women of reproductive age at the time — were affected.

Survivors have described lifelong physical and emotional harm, including infertility and trauma.

Denmark issued a formal apology in 2025 for the forced contraception program.
