Synopsis
This book is an overview of human rights ideas and laws for social workers that stresses the importance of human rights in all types of social work policy and practice. After reviewing the history of human rights, the book addresses human rights issues relating to vulnerable groups (e.g., women, children, disabled persons, the HIV- or AIDS-infected population, gays and lesbians, victims of racism, and older persons) and discusses the international aspects of human rights. The book concludes with the application of human rights to social work practice and illustrative case studies., As social work students and practitioners encounter the term "human rights" with greater frequency, there is a pressing need for them to understand its meaning, especially in contradistinction to the related concept of "social justice." This book is an overview of human rights ideas and laws for social workers that stresses the importance of human rights in all types of social work policy and practice. The volume first traces the history and development of human rights from the passage of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and subsequent international documents. In particular, Social Work and Human Rights addresses issues relating to vulnerable groups, including women, children, disabled persons, the HIV- or AIDS-infected population, gays and lesbians, victims of racism, and older persons. The book concludes with indispensable case studies that illustrate the application of human rights theory in real-life settings. These case studies demonstrate how to identify relevant human rights issues and then connect these issues to ethical responsibilities in order to form an appropriate intervention scenario with the client.
