But the non-consensual sterilisation of those considered genetically inferior continued through the 20th century and persists in some parts of the world today. </p><p>"In January, victims of Japan’s forced sterilisation programme were finally able to apply for compensation for the first time. Between 1948 and 1996, at least 16,500 people were forcibly sterilised in Japan under the country’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EugenicProtectionLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EugenicProtectionLaw</span></a>. Nearly 60,000 more underwent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abortions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abortions</span></a> without, or with only dubious consent. Most were mentally handicapped people or those with hereditary diseases.</p><p>"As Japan finally addresses this legacy, victims of forced sterilisation in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Peru" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peru</span></a> are still fighting for compensation after 370,000 people were sterilised in what the UN has described as a potential crime against humanity.

It granted medical institutions the right to administer sterilisations and abortions without the consent of patients. Of the 25,000 people sterilised under the programme, according to government figures only 8,000 gave consent. The legitimacy of the consent in these cases is disputed. </p><p>"A large number of the victims were children, some as young as nine years old. In Miyagi prefecture, in the northwest of the main island, more than half of the 859 sterilised between 1963 and 1981 were under the age of 18. </p><p>"At a press conference last month in Hyogo prefecture, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeafWoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeafWoman</span></a>, now in her 80s, described the emotional pain of being given an abortion without her consent. 'I was taken to the hospital, and I thought I would be going to the general medicine department. I was very surprised because I was taken to the gynaecology department … I am unable to forget what happened at that time'.</p><p>"In her prefecture alone, there are '14 or 15 other [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeafPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeafPeople</span></a>] who suffered harm' that are known about, 'but there are undoubtedly more', said Yoshimichi Hongo, chairman of the Hyogo Prefecture Association for the Deaf."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/women-and-girls/as-japan-starts-compensation-payments-forced-sterilisation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">telegraph.co.uk/global-health/</span><span class="invisible">women-and-girls/as-japan-starts-compensation-payments-forced-sterilisation/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reproductiverights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reproductiverights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodilyAutomony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BodilyAutomony</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabledPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReproductiveAutonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReproductiveAutonomy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sterilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sterilization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a></p>

Geeks anciens<p>L'intégration du spectacle Cinéscénie du parc du Puy-du-Fou au Pass Culture est une abjection à l'image d'un gouvernement incapable de promouvoir une véritable vulgarisation historique de qualité.
