A Danish sperm scandal, EU leaders rethink convention on human rights and face coverings to be banned in universities

This week on The Danish Connection:


Rachel talks about the disturbing international fertility case linked to the European Sperm Bank in Denmark, where sperm from a single donor carrying a cancer-causing genetic mutation was used to conceive nearly 200 children across Europe. She looks into what this could mean for the future of cross-border fertility treatment and why Denmark plays such a central role in this industry.


Melissa breaks down Denmark’s leading role, alongside Italy and 25 other countries, in pushing for a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in relation to migration and deportation. She talks about the proposed changes, why other European leaders have been ‘inspired’ by Denmark’s hardline migration policies and what this could mean for migrants seeking refuge in Europe.


Rachel looks into Denmark’s decision to compensate thousands of Greenlandic women and girls who were subjected to forced contraception for decades.


Melissa talks about the government’s proposal to extend Denmark’s face covering ban to schools and universities.
