Compulsory sterilisation in Sweden was a controversial policy that was implemented in the early 20th century, targeting people who were deemed unfit to procreate due to mental or physical disabilities. While the policy was officially ended in 1976, its effects continue to be felt by those who were affected by it and their descendants. Some synonyms for compulsory sterilisation in Sweden include forced sterilisation, involuntary sterilisation, eugenics, and population control. These terms highlight the ethical and human rights issues associated with such policies, which often reflect discriminatory and oppressive attitudes towards vulnerable populations.
