ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Forced sterilization, with its history of racism and eugenics, is banned under multiple international treaties. Thirty-seven European nations and the EU have ratified the Istanbul Convention, which declares, without exception, that nonconsensual sterilization is a human rights violation. But a New York Times investigation found over a third of those countries had made exceptions, often for people that the government deemed too disabled to consent. Some countries have banned the practice but don’t consider it a crime. And records show that the Istanbul treaty’s official watchdog has repeatedly criticized governments for not doing enough to protect disabled people. (The U.S. has signed but has not ratified a separate treaty on the issue, and sterilization laws vary by state.) The result is that people with intellectual disabilities — mostly women — are still being sterilized, even when it is not medically necessary. Read the full investigation at the link in our bio.
