Yeah, I’m confused. Depo-Provera is a contraceptive that needs to be administered every 3 months to prevent pregnancy. And it doesn’t end a pregnancy, it’s been deemed safe for pregnant women and women who (unlikely but possibly) become pregnant after an injection.
It also may help prevent some cancers of the reproductive tract.
Skeptical of the guardians article or the message that people are taking from it.
Probably should edit your comment from “secretly sterilized” to “allegedly secretly provided contraceptives”.
Being sterilized and being given contraceptives are wildly different things.

Sorry - does that mean you think contraception and sterilization are the same thing?
It doesn’t. They’ve thanked you for calling them out on accuracy.
Is that in a different post or comment I can’t see? Their original still refers to sterilization.
