No data for 2011.

Qualitative Info

No new cases of coerced sterilization were reported in 2011.

The European Roma Rights Centre and the Legal Defense Bureau for Ethnic and National Minorities jointly represent a woman (who is perceived as a member of the Roma community, because she is married to a Roma man) in an alleged case of coerced sterilisation, performed in 2008, in the hospital of the city of Ny. The case is still pending in 2011.
