Summary/Abstract: This report examines the practice of coercive involuntary sterilisations in the Czech Republic as experienced by Romani women against their will or without free and informed consent. Along with a review of the institutional, legal and policy context within which these sterilisations took place, the main focus of the report is on the personal experiences of sterilised Romani women. These were obtained through individual interviews and focus groups with 22 involuntarily sterilised women.
