Forced Sterilization of Indigenous Peoples Sample Clauses

Forced Sterilization of Indigenous Peoples. The government has to intensify campaigns encouraging couples to consider family planning. However, it is important that family planning remains a right and not an obligation forced upon people. In Mexico, there are reports of forced sterilizations of indigenous women and men by federal and state public health personnel. Indigenous peoples have been threatened with the loss of government support if they did not accept to get sterilized. Na savi women (Mixtec) of the state of Guerrero, for example, had to accept a monthly contraceptive injection if they did not want to lose the support of the Oportunidades program. Others have been misinformed or deceived, and only found out later that they had been sterilized. Indigenous monolingual people, without knowledge of Spanish, and illiterate people, have been forced to sign consent forms they did not understand, to undergo sterilization. In 2002, a Chinantec woman in the state of Oaxaca was told she was getting a smear to detect cervical cancer. When she developed an infection and went to a private clinic, she learned that an intrauterine device had been placed without her consent. There have been testimonies of indigenous women receiving aid from government programs, such as Progresa and Procampo, being forced to take pills – supposedly vitamins – in front of the staff in charge of distributing aid. If they refused to take the pills, they would not get aid. Later, these vitamins turned out to be contraceptives. There have also been reports of aid staff promising 50 pesos to men who would accept a vasectomy55, or reportedly promising to build a school or a hospital in the community to convince them. Despite several complaints, there have been no sanctions, neither against the public health staff who performed the 55 This is approximately just under 3 euro, but in 2004, this was more than the minimum daily wage of 43.29 pesos (approximately 2.5 euro) (Comisión Nacional de los Salarios Mínimos, 2015). sterilizations, nor against the officials who gave to order. Many of them are still working in the public health service (Magally, 2002; Proceso, 2006; Nolasco Ramírez, 2014).
