A recent press release from the Department of Business, Resources, Energy, Justice, and Gender Equality indicates that 209 women have applied for compensation from the Greenlandic government for receiving a spiral or other forms of contraception without consent since January 1, 1992. This development comes in the context of Greenland's transition of health responsibility from Denmark, which managed the healthcare system in Greenland until 1992 when authority was returned to local governance.

Out of these applications, 111 will be reviewed in detail, which necessitates the gathering of medical records for these women. The Greenlandic government reported that the number of applications received is significantly higher than initially expected, indicating a broader impact on women affected by this issue than previously anticipated. As a result, the processing of these compensatory claims will take longer than was initially calculated.

Women who received involuntary contraception following Greenland's takeover of health services are eligible to apply for compensation between October 17, 2023, and December 31, 2025. They may claim up to 300,000 Danish kroner, emphasizing the government's recognition of the wrongs committed in the past regarding reproductive rights.
