All proposals for parliamentary resolutions by Dansk Folkeparti

In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (16 members, first named: Mette Thiesen)
  • What is proposed: The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to require the government to introduce a bill on a compensation scheme and to carry out an independent expert investigation into contraception without consent in Denmark.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns girls and women who, from 1960 onwards, were subjected to an IUD, other contraception or sterilisation without valid and informed consent, and who are not covered by the scheme for Greenland.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • The compensation scheme must not apply to those covered by the scheme for Greenland in bill L 11.
  • The government must carry out an independent, interdisciplinary expert investigation into the extent and nature of these procedures in Denmark from 1960 onwards.
