Human Rights in Social Work

“An excellent addition to the literature, this book advances social work’s understanding of human rights with thorough analysis of the foundations of the profession as well as contemporary social issues.” David Androff, Arizona State University “In globally turbulent and unpredictable times, Human Rights in Social Work helps readers to chart a socially progressive course. These established authors have made a vital contribution and help to stimulate our critical understanding of our profession and the world in which it is located.” Paul Michael Garrett, University of Galway “The human rights mandate of social work is clear: situating ourselves on the side of the oppressed, colonised, marginalised and violated. This timely book is a powerful instrument for deepening consciousness of this mandate and providing directives for taking transformative action towards its fulfilment.” Linda Harms-Smith, University of Pretoria
