Human rights are inseparable form social work theories, values, ethics and practice. Rights corresponding to human needs have to be upheld and postured. Social work is concerned with the protection of individuals and group needs. It is often forced to mediate between the people, the state and other authorities, to champion particular causes and to provide support when state actions threaten or neglect the rights and freedoms to individuals and / or groups. Social work educators and practitioners are conscious that their concerns are linked with respect for human rights. This book seeks to sensitise NGOs, social work educators, practitioners and other partners in human right work to bring about a collective action for working on human rights issues relating to families, children, women, minorities and weaker sections of society.
