Urgent Appeal Regarding the FKU Test and the Case of Keira Kronvold & Baby Zammi
To whom this email reaches,
I am writing to you as a concerned Indigenous mother from Aotearoa New Zealand, deeply
troubled by the continued impact of the now-banned FKU test in Denmark—particularly in the
heartbreaking case of Keira Kronvold and her daughter, Zammi.
It is both distressing and incomprehensible that a newborn baby—Zammi—was removed from her
mother just two hours after birth as a result of this flawed and discriminatory assessment. Despite
the FKU test having since been officially discontinued, this child has not yet been returned to her
mother, and she is now six months old.
This situation is not only a grave injustice to Keira Kronvold, but a painful reminder that systemic
discrimination against Indigenous women persists in countries that claim to uphold human rights
and family integrity. The FKU test failed to take into account cultural practices and parental norms
among native and Indigenous populations, and its use has inflicted irreparable harm on countless
families.
As a fellow Indigenous mother, I am appalled and heartbroken by what Keira and her child are
enduring. The trauma of family separation, especially immediately postpartum, cannot be
understated. The fact that such a situation is allowed to continue after the test was officially
banned is unacceptable and demands urgent rectification.
I call upon the Danish government to immediately review and rectify this case. Baby Zammi must
be returned to her mother without further delay, and additional steps must be taken to ensure
Indigenous voices are respected, protected, and meaningfully included in all child welfare
decisions going forward.
Your government must do better by your people. Upholding the dignity and rights of Indigenous
families is not optional—it is a moral obligation.
Sincerely,
Tiana Pou
