Att. GRU - BOYCOTT DENMARK INDEFINITELY. Denmark alongside Thisted Municipality has
violated Keira Kronvold's human rights as a member of an Indigenous people in Denmark. Inuit are
protected under ILO Convention no. 169 from 1997, which Denmark has signed, as wel...
To all parties,
Denmark stolen a newborn baby, her name is Zammi, and she was stolen from her mother on
November 7, 2024. Denmark's parenting competency tests are widely known across the world to
be violations of human rights and Indigenous peoples rights, they do not take into account
Greenlandic cultural background, and the people who enforce this process do not do their jobs the
way even their own policy states, and international law states. For example, psychologists
employed by Thisted Municipality have assessed Keira as low-intelligent and lacking parenting
skills, but a Greenlandic interpreter was never called for any of the meetings, investigations or
decisions. As well, Denmark leaves white children with parents who would "fail" similar tests, that
is more proof this is pure racism. I put fail in quotations because these tests should not have to be
taken seriously they are so outrageous, but here we are. These racist psychologists from Thisted
Municipality have discriminated against Keira because of her ethnicity, gender, race, disability, age
and sexual orientation in connection with those parenting competence tests, conducting
psychological tests on her that are not adapted to Greenlanders and without a Greenlandic
interpreter present.
Keira has shared publically this Thisted Municipality statement about her as part of their reason for
forced removal:
"Keira draws on her Greenlandic background, where even small facial expressions have
communicative significance. But since the child will grow up in Denmark, it is estimated that Keira
will have difficulty preparing the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to
navigate in Danish society. This challenge is combined with Keira's cognitive difficulties, especially
in relation to linguistic and cognitive stimulation of the child, which can result in her expressing
herself simplistically and impulsively.”
I mean, that is one of the most racist things I have ever read as a reason to remove a child from her
mother. Forced removal of Indigenous children is against international law and is a key factor in
genocide, this is not just unacceptable, it is illegal. Thisted Municipality has violated Keira's human
rights as a member of an Indigenous people in Denmark. Inuit are protected under ILO Convention
no. 169 from 1997, which Denmark has signed, as well as the UN declaration, Article 7, which
