Legally Fatherless
Between 1914 and either 1963 (Kitaa) or 1974 (Avannaa and Tunu), Danish law deemed the children of unmarried Greenlandic women legally fatherless (Danish language, Danish: ): having no right to know or inherit from their biological fathers. Many of the fathers were Danish, so the laws, in effect, racial segregation, racially segregated Danish men from their responsibilities and duties in Greenlandic society. Legally-imposed racial segregation existed in some form in Greenland throughout Danish colonial rule, including laws prohibiting miscegenation. An investigative report, commissioned by the Danish government, was released in 2011. Three years later, legally fatherless children were awarded the right to lawsuit, sue for paternity and inherit property from their fathers. As of 2023, legal proceedings by some legally fatherless against the Danish state have begun. Background and laws Prior to and during the period of the legal fatherlessness laws, Denmark was the colonial ruler ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Child Welfare

Little Danes Experiment
The little Danes experiment, also known simply as "the experiment", was a 1951 Denmark, Danish operation where 22 Greenlandic Inuit children ("experiment children") were sent to Danish foster families in an attempt to re-educate them as "little Danes". While the children were all supposed to be orphans, most were not. Six children were adopted while in Denmark, and sixteen returned to Greenland, only to be placed in Danish language, Danish-speaking orphanages and never live with their families again. Half of the children experienced mental health disturbances, and half of them died in young adulthood. The government of Denmark officially apologised in 2020, after several years of demands from Greenlandic officials. Background Following World War II, Danish government officials and non-governmental organisations believed Greenlandic society was underdeveloped, and sought to redesign it. Together with the Red Cross and Save the Children, they manufactured an experiment to create a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
