AFN national chief urges action on 'gross human-rights violation'

OTTAWA — Forced sterilizations of Indigenous women are reprehensible and must immediately be stopped, says Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde.
The scope of the problem must also be examined across Canada, Bellegarde said.
“It is wrong, it is immoral, it is a gross violation of human rights and this dehumanizing practice must stop,” Bellegarde said in an interview.
He also stressed the need for urgent investigation to ensure proper statistics are collected
