Denmark apologises over past discriminatory policies for its disabled citizens
The Danish government offered an apology to thousands of its citizens with disabilities who were abused in state-run facilities, including with forced sterilizations or sexual assaults.
Denmark Social Affairs minister Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil told a group of around 50 victims from the period in the western city of Horsens on Monday: “The state had... an obligation of oversight, and did not sufficiently do its job".
