Summary
The workshop aims to compare two ongoing (inter)national litigation cases involving systemic forced sterilisation and contraception of Indigenous community members in Greenland and Peru. Experts will critically assess victims’ (inter)national litigation hurdles, provide an experience-sharing platform, and discuss the implications of judicial and political remedies for systemic discrimination.
