This takes place all over the world.
I met and continue to meet women specifically in NSW Australia, that is where I am, who tell me these things.

Eg from internet search, as I have never seen this law, only what the people themsevles told me.

I do not agree with everything in these laws but understand necessity in some cases.

excerpt from the above mentioned website:

"the Australia Government does not currently have a coherent national approach to sterilisation of women and girls with disabilities. Instead of developing universal legislation which protects their human rights and prohibits the sterilisation of women and children except in those circumstances where there is a threat to health or life, the Government has consistently taken the view that there are instances in which sterilisation can and should be authorised. In August 2003 the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General agreed that "a nationally consistent approach to the authorisation procedures required for the lawful sterilisation of minors with decision making disability is appropriate" (Standing Committee of Attorneys-General Working Group 2004). Further work on the issue of sterilisation from that time has been directed toward the goal of resolving jurisdictional issues between Guardianship Tribunals in various States and the Federal Courts and developing nationally consistent criteria which can be applied in all jurisdictions so that sterilisations can be authorised.
This approach has several extremely negative consequences for disabled women and girls in Australia. It clearly undermines the fundamental human rights of women and girls with disabilities; it takes no account of the social, cultural and economic conditions which drive the sterilisation agenda for families, carers and medical and other professionals; it takes no account of the long-term physical and mental health effects of sterilisation and effectively makes authorisation easier rather than more difficult to obtain. This kind of approach once again relegates the voice of disabled women and girls to the margins of the debate. "

I met young women who are not aware of the reasons for the procedures performed on them, such as inserting a contraceptive coil into their uterus. They know it is there but dont know the reason. So these people are not fully sterilized and there still is possibility to get pregnant even with the coil or say it has dislodged or when it is removed.
I dont know the full details of all these women's procedures, some dont know themselves, so possible some were fully permanently sterilized..
The reason for this I understand to be that these people do not have the same rights as other not disabled intellectually psychiatrically etc adults. They are under control of a guardian who makes decisions for them.
