The Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice said an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 individuals have been sterilized in Canada without proper consent — some as recently as last year.

We Canadians need to address the issue of forced sterilization in our own country before we start accusing and condemning other countries of the practice.
