The Greenlandic government has reported that 209 women have come forward to seek compensation for having a contraceptive spiral inserted without their consent. This number is notably higher than what the government, Naalakkersuisut, expected, as they had anticipated a lower response. Among these applications, 111 are being processed, which involves gathering information from the women's health records, a process that may take significant time due to the complexity involved. Greenland’s Equality Minister, Naaja H. Nathanielsen, has expressed regret over the delays in processing these claims, emphasizing the importance of thorough treatment of each case.

Of the applications submitted, 92 have been rejected on grounds that the incidents occurred before Greenland assumed responsibility for health care in 1992. These women are referred to seek compensation from the Danish state if their experience occurred between 1960 and 1991 without consent. The reconciliation fund offers potential compensation of around 300,000 Danish kroner for those eligible, highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding women's health rights in the region and the historical context of such medical practices.

The situation reflects broader themes concerning consent and healthcare policies in Greenland, raising meaningful discussions about historical injustices and their present-day implications. It underscores the need for transparency and accountability in healthcare, particularly concerning vulnerable populations like women who may have been subject to coercive practices in the past. As claims are processed, they could set precedents for how such issues are managed in the future, influencing policy and public discourse on these sensitive matters.
