  TORONTO The Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador is launching a new research project aimed at documenting the forced sterilization of First Nations and Inuit women in Quebec. The AFNQL is inviting First Nations and Inuit women who believe they were sterilized without their consent to come forward and share their personal experiences, or those of loved ones with their permission. In claims as recent as 2019, there have been numerous reports across Canada of Indigenous women receiving tubal ligations after giving birth, leaving them sterilized without their full and informed consent. On Thursday, a new report by the senate committee on human rights stated that coerced sterilization of Indigenous women still happens in Canada.
