There have been concerns for years now about Greenlandic families being misunderstood by Danish authorities.

In this article, the BBC has published a story about Greenlandic families who live on the Danish mainland & who are fighting to have their children returned to them.

According to the article, the children were removed after “parental competency tests” were given, tests which the Danish government banned in May this year for use on Greenlandic families.

“Opponents have also long argued that “the tests” are designed around Danish cultural norms and point out they are administered in Danish, rather than Kalaallisut, the mother tongue of most Greenlanders.”
