Indigenous women in Canada forcibly sterilized decades after other rich countries stopped

TORONTO (AP) — Decades after many other rich countries stopped forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women, numerous activists, doctors, politicians and at least five class-action lawsuits say the practice has not ended in Canada.A Senate report last year concluded “this horrific practice is not confined to the past, but clearly is continuing today.” In May, a doctor was penalized for forcibly sterilizing an Indigenous woman in 2019. Indigenous leaders say the country has yet to fully reckon with its troubled colonial past — or put a stop to a decades-long practice that is considered a type of genocide.There are no solid estimates on how many women are still being sterilized against their will or without their knowledge, but Indigenous experts say they regularly hear complaints about it. Sen. Yvonne Boyer, whose office is collecting the limited data available, says at least 12,000 women have been affected since the 1970s.“Whenever I speak to an Indigenous community, I am swamped with wome...

A Guatemalan tribunal certifies election results minutes after another court suspends one party

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:03:17 GMT

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala’s electoral authorities on Wednesday certified the results of the country’s presidential election, setting conservative Sandra Torres and progressive Bernardo Arévalo up for a runoff vote. The decision came minutes after the Attorney General’s Office said a judge had suspended the legal status of Arévalo’s party.The seemingly contradictory moves fed more than two weeks of rising tensions and suspicions.
