Tens of thousands of women were coercively sterilized in Czechoslovakia and its successor states. Romani women were particularly targeted for these measures. These practices stopped only in 2004, as a result of international pressure. Although some measures have been taken to ensure that these practices are not repeated, to date neither the Czech Republic nor Slovakia have completed the work of providing effective remedy to victims, as is their right. This article focusses on efforts in the Czech Republic. It concludes that, , an administrative mechanism is needed to provide financial compensation to victims, since the road to remedy via courts is effectively blocked.
在捷克斯洛伐克及其继承国,数万名妇女被强制绝育。罗姆妇女成为这些措施的特别针对对象。由于国际压力,这些做法直到2004年才停止。尽管已采取一些措施确保此类做法不再重演,但迄今为止,捷克共和国和斯洛伐克都未完成向受害者提供有效补救的工作,而提供补救是她们的权利。本文重点关注捷克共和国的努力。结论是,鉴于通过法院寻求补救的途径实际上被阻断,需要建立一种行政机制向受害者提供经济赔偿。
