#ForciblySterilized

2024-07-04

On July 3, #Japanese Supreme Court again ruled that the former #eugenics law was #unconstitutional & ordered the government to compensate those who were #ForciblySterilized under the law.

But this time, the top court also waived the 20-year statute of limitations for seeking compensation.

Although the plaintiffs won essentially all aspects of the case, the ruling cannot erase years of suffering.
