The NDP are keeping the heat on the Trudeau government when it comes to forced sterilization of Indigenous women.

Several MPs raised the controversial practice at multiple committees in Ottawa and said Tuesday they’ve secured two briefings with department officials.

“Forced sterilization is an appalling form of violence against women and it’s critical that we investigate these horrific acts without delay,” NDP Health Critic Don Davies (Vancouver – Kingsway) said in a release.

“Amnesty International has confirmed that this constitutes a form of torture as defined by the United Nations (U.N.).”

The U.N. Committee on Torture said Canada is violating human rights by allowing the practice, which has disproportionately impacted Indigenous women, to continue.

To date, 60 Indigenous women have joined a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging they were subjected to forced sterilization as recently as 2017.
