Forced and coerced sterilization refers to the provision of permanent contraception without true informed consent. In Canada, this topic is particularly relevant to Indigenous Peoples because of this country's history of racialized eugenics programs. In this commentary, we briefly review the history of forced and coerced sterilization in Canada, describe the clinical considerations for health care providers who work with Indigenous patients in this context, and outline calls to action for health care providers and organizations to support the provision of culturally appropriate reproductive health care to Indigenous people.
强制绝育是指在未获得真正知情同意的情况下提供永久性避孕措施。在加拿大，由于该国存在种族化优生学计划的历史，这个话题与原住民尤其相关。在这篇评论中，我们简要回顾加拿大强制绝育的历史，描述在此背景下为原住民患者提供服务的医疗保健提供者的临床考量，并概述对医疗保健提供者和组织的行动呼吁，以支持为原住民提供符合文化习俗的生殖健康护理。
