Hedvig Frederiksen
Hedvig Frederiksen is a 65-year-old former schoolteacher from the village of Arsuk in southwestern Greenland, who has become a leading voice in the campaign for justice regarding the 'spiral scandal' where Danish authorities forcibly inserted contraceptive devices into young Greenlandic women without consent. Despite the trauma she endured in her youth, including a harrowing experience with the spiral insertion that affected her fertility, she has dedicated herself to supporting other women who faced similar violations. As a coordinator for the women involved in the 'spiralsagen,' she seeks acknowledgment and reparations from the Danish government, emphasizing the need for recognition of the wrongs committed against her people.
