The sale of alcohol has been banned in the Greenland
capital, Nuuk, in an attempt to reduce violence against children during the
period of confinement caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
“In such a situation, we have to take numerous measures to
avoid infection,” the prime minister, Kim Kielsen, said on Saturday.
“But at the heart of my decision is the protection of
children; they have to have a safe home.”
Nearly one in three people living in the autonomous Danish
Arctic territory suffered sexual abuse during childhood. Experts link the abuse
to alcohol, drugs and ignorance of children’s rights.
After Greenland closed down schools on Monday with 10 cases
of coronavirus diagnosed, a rise in violence followed.
“Unfortunately, in Nuuk, domestic violence has been on the
rise in recent weeks,” the health minister, Martha Abelsen, told local media.
Excessive drinking by parents exposed children to dangers in the home,
Greenlanders were warned.
