       In the Sixties and Seventies, thousands of Greenlandic women and girls, some as young as 12, were fitted with intrauterine devices (IUDs), without their knowledge or consent. The policy was an attempt to slow down population growth in Greenland (which at the time had one of the highest birth rates in the world) and therefore lessen the potential financial burden on Denmark; it’s thought to have impacted around half of the island’s women of childbearing age between 1966 and 1970. Many were left traumatised, and others suffered pain, bleeding, infection and lasting health complications; some struggled to conceive later in life, not realising that they had been fitted with the coil. “I could clearly see that the [IUD] tools looked much too big for my little girl’s body, but at the time I didn’t realise they were for adult women,” Naja Lyberth, who was fitted with the coil at the age of 14 and later became the first woman to come forward, has said. “It was like torture, like a rape.”https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/greenland-trump-takeover-denmark-independence-b2897494.html

       Greenland has no love for Denmark.
