Summary

The article reveals the devastating impact of Denmark's now-banned parental competency tests on Greenlandic families living in Denmark. For decades, Greenlandic parents were subjected to discriminatory assessments that often resulted in their children being taken into care. The story follows Keira, a 39-year-old Greenlandic mother whose newborn daughter was taken from her just two hours after birth, and other families fighting to reunite with their children. While Denmark has now banned these tests after years of criticism, families continue to struggle with the trauma and legal battles to regain custody of their children.
