Bratislava adopted a resolution this week apologizing for a forced sterilization program that targeted thousands of Roma women up until the year 2004.
“The government condemns sterilization as a means of regulating the birth rate of the socially disadvantaged,” the resolution read.
The official reason for sterilization was to tackle alleged health issues among the Roma people, but modern studies show many sterilizations took place under coercion and threats.
