They're only asking for 38,000? Seems really low...

It is in the Danish justice system, where amounts are usually not very high.

That's helpful to know, but man, that's hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

You don't need to sue for hundreds of thousands when your country actually takes care of you

I wouldn't say they were taken care of in this case....

But regardless, that's a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

You should add this at the beginning so that we can understand within one second:

In the 60s and 70s, some 4,500 young Inuit had IUDs inserted without their consent or that of their families

Sounds like genocide to me.
