Abstract
In August 2021, a law took effect in the Czech Republic to compensate people who had been sterilized on Czech territory without their informed consent between 1966 and 2012. This report, authored by an activist and ally who has assisted Romani women with advocating for compensation since 2004, will summarize the issue and describe the current state of the compensation process. Efforts to end these human rights violations have been underway almost since these practices were first reported in the 1970s in the former Czechoslovakia, and these recent developments represent an important breakthrough for civil society, enforcement of human rights, and Romani people. The compensation process opened on 1 January 2022 and will close on 1 January 2025; this report will review its strengths and weaknesses to date.
