Norwegian Women Sue Over Decades-Old Birth Switch Cover-Up

Two women discover they were switched at birth nearly 60 years ago, prompting a lawsuit against the Norwegian state for human rights violations.

The switch occurred in 1965 at Eggesboenes Hospital, a private institution in central Norway.
Karen Rafteseth Dokken raised Mona, not knowing she was not her biological daughter.
Authorities discovered the error in 1985 but did not inform the families involved.
Mona only learned the truth in 2021 after taking a DNA test at age 57.
The lawsuit claims the state violated their rights and seeks an apology and compensation.
