520 |a"Sterilization is a surgical procedure to prevent conception. Forced or coerced sterilization occurs when sterilization is performed without the patient's free, prior and informed consent. Canada has a long history of forced and coerced sterilization. For much of the 20th century, laws and government policies explicitly sought to reduce births in First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, Black communities, and among people with intersecting vulnerabilities relating to poverty, race and disability. Though these explicit eugenic laws and policies have been repealed, the racist and discriminatory attitudes that gave rise to them are still present in Canadian society, and forced and coerced sterilization still occurs. Beginning in 2019, the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights (the Committee) undertook a study on the extent and scope of forced and coerced sterilization of persons in Canada, hearing from experts and civil society groups. In 2022, the Committee heard additional testimony on this issue, including from several survivors who courageously shared their stories. The practice of forced and coerced sterilization is not confined to our distant past, and law and policy changes are needed to prevent this horrific practice from being inflicted on others. This report highlights the experiences and perspectives of survivors and outlines solutions that the Committee believes are urgently needed to bring an end to this unacceptable practice"--Executive summary, page 7.
