Social Justice in Social Work: Insights and Frameworks for Creating a Just Society

DESCRIPTION

This resource explores social justice as a fundamental value in the social work profession. It delves into the assumptions we hold about those we serve, highlighting the importance of recognizing their strengths and capacities, rather than viewing them through the lens of deficits. It also examines the notion of a just society, the difference between capabilities and basic needs approaches, and how the capabilities perspective can serve as an effective framework for promoting justice. This work aims to strengthen community engagement and dignity, fostering environments of possibility.
