الإبادة الجماعية مستمرة.. التحكم في السكان وتعقيم النساء

Indigenous peoples in Canada have been subjected to forced sterilization under eugenics legislation since the 1930s, and the violence has never stopped, despite the decline in eugenics' credibility. In her book Genocide Continues, Karen Stott traces the historical, political, economic, and policy context that led to the forced sterilization of Indigenous women from 1970 onward. It shows how a powerful idea paved the way for broader violations of Indigenous bodies and futures. This idea of ​​population control—concerning who inhabits the land and how resources are distributed—has been a central thread guiding public health interventions, from eugenics to family planning. Genocide Continues offers new insights into how federal, provincial, and corporate activities have intersected to criminalize and regulate Indigenous reproduction. Saskatchewan, which first instituted family planning policies in the 1970s and is now the province with the highest number of Indigenous women filing complaints of forced sterilization, serves as Stott's case study to illustrate why family planning activities continually target Indigenous women. Stott combines compelling archival evidence with grounded anecdotal narratives to connect violence against Indigenous people to violence against their lands. Unless colonialism, unjust exploitation and land dispossession are addressed, genocide against indigenous people will continue. She has researched the forced sterilization of Indigenous women for nearly 20 years and is the author of An Act of Genocide: Colonialism and the Sterilization of Indigenous Women. She has served as an expert witness and appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Human Rights and the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health in their inquiries into forced sterilization in Canada, and is regularly consulted by other researchers and the media. She is a researcher funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and her work has been published in American Indian Culture and Research, Atlantis: Critical Studies in Gender, Culture and Social Justice, Indigenous American Studies, and Sacred Unborn Packages (2nd ed.).
