What does it mean for social work to truly uphold human rights in an era marked by economic austerity, political polarisation and global crises? Human Rights in Social Work offers a powerful and timely response, calling for a fundamental rethinking of practice rooted in relational, dignity-driven approaches. Grounded in critical theory and real-world issues, this book interrogates the limitations of current approaches and offers a compelling vision for a more just, relational and accountable social work in which intersectionality and cultures play a central role. Bringing together leading voices in theory, practice and research, the book examines how social workers can move beyond rhetoric – confronting the profession’s own historic and ongoing failings – to embed a deeper, more intersectional understanding of human rights into social work’s core.
