Human Rights: Its Meaning and Practice
in Social Work Field Settings
Julie A. Steen, Mary Mann, Nichole Restivo, Shellene Mazany, and Reshawna Chapple
The goal of the study reported in this article was to explore the conceptualizations of human
rights and human rights practice among students and supervisors in social work field settings.
Data were collected from 35 students and 48 supervisors through an online survey system
that featured two open-ended questions regarding human rights issues in their agency and
human rights practice tasks. Responses suggest that participants encountered human rights
issues related to poverty, discrimination, participation/self-determination/autonomy, vio-
lence, dignity/respect, privacy, and freedom/liberty. They saw human rights practice as en-
compassing advocacy, service provision, assessment, awareness of threats to clients’ rights,
and the nature of the worker–client relationship. These results have implications for the
social work profession, which has an opportunity to focus more intently on change efforts
that support clients’ rights. The study points to the possibilities of expanding the scope of
the human rights competency within social work education and addressing the key human
rights issues in field education.
KEYWORDS: accreditation standards; educational policy; field education; human rights;
social work education
In the most recent edition of Social Work Speaks,
the National Association of Social Workers
(NASW) (2015b) announced that “the struggle
for human rights remains a vital priority for the social
work profession in the 21st century” (p. 186). The
International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW)
(2012), which is the international umbrella organiza-
tion for national social work associations, has inte-
grated the concept of human rights into their
Statement of Ethical Principles. Through this docu-
ment, they call on social workers to “uphold and
defend” (IFSW, 2012) the human rights of clients.
In addition, they present international human rights
conventions as key to “social work practice and
action” (IFSW, 2012). Although NASW (2015a)
does not explicitly use the term “human rights” in its
Code of Ethics, many of the concepts within the
national document are derived from the human
rights philosophy. For example, the code requires
social workers within the United States to respect
“the dignity and worth of the person” (NASW,
2015a, p. 5), “facilitate informed participation by the
public in shaping social policies and institutions”
(NASW, 2015a, p. 27), and work to “ensure that all
people have equal access to the resources, employ-
ment, services, and opportunities they require to
meet their basic human needs” (NASW, 2015a, p.
27). These responsibilities align with the types of
human rights classified as integrity of the body, polit-
ical rights, and social and economic rights (Steen,
2006).
Although social work professional organizations

Nancy Advocates to Professionalize
Social Work in Her State
Nancy is a SSW-level social worker residing in a state that recognizes and provides licensure only
for MSW-level clinical social workers who have passed a national examination and completed at
least 2 years of supervised clinical experience. The license is what allows clinical social workers
to enter private practice with individuals and families, obtain reimbursement through insurance
companies and other third parties, and tap into public funding sources. In contrast, BSW and
nonclinical MSW social workers have been limited to obtaining state certifications in social work.
These certifications lack credibility with potential clients and funding sources.
In Nancy's state, human service organizations rarely require proof of certificat ion or of a
degree in social work for employment as a social worker in nonclinical settings. So by law,
just about anyone with at least a bachelor's degree can choose to be called a social worker.
People who have majored in psychology, sociology, criminal justice, history, and English routinely
obtain employment in human service and mental health agencies in her state. They often refer
to themselves as social workers, care managers, caseworkers, and intervention specialists. As
a result, the general public believes that the term social worker can be applied to nearly anyone
doing good for others.
Nancy worked hard for her BSW degree and wonders how nonprofessionals can effectively
do the work without the training she has received. It seems to her that the potential for doing
harm is high.
The important point here is that Nancy is thinking and acting as an advocate. To ensure that
clients receive quality services from competent social workers, Nancy works with her National
Association of Social Workers state chapter and local social work educators to promote
state legislation that will establish licensure and title protection for all social workers. As their
recommended changes in state laws are considered, social workers and some client groups
have also been talking with administrators of social work agencies about how important it is to
require that every "social worker" in a human service position have a social work degree and be
appropriately educated.

Social Justice.
Every individual shall have fair access to social justice. Everyone shall be free and have access to all the fundamental rights like education, human rights, due process, and equal protection clause. There shall be no person be neglected for everyone has an access to these.
Empowerment.
The citizenry, which is basically us, need empowering. "Empowerment is viewed as a process: the mechanism by which people, organizations, and communities gain mastery over their lives." This is the ability of the people to ensure their success by doing various activities that guarantee progress and development. This also covers empowerment of individuals and communities that have been marginalized by society.
Diversity.
Since our community is composed of different sets of individuals, people need understand to respect other people and their ways. Ethnocentrism is no place for a community. We must value and accept other communities regardless of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability status, socioeconomic status, gender and age.

Social worker
Social work remains one of the most important professionals in the owing role it plays in the community and society. In life, the social, economic, political and spiritual aspect defines the whole concept of life. In the event any of the mentioned aspects fail to functions as expected, the life of human life is endangered. In the world, social injustices, economic inequality and religious misunderstanding have been on the rise which eventually affects socially, economically and mentally affects human beings. In presence of these issues, social workers are needed to bring hope to lives of people, advocate for the less fortunate and voiceless and indeed act in self-denial to for the good of the majority and society. In view of this, social work is the most significant career to bring transformation in the society.
Referring to the Gee, ascertain the need to have a clear understanding of the discourse. According to the Gee, social groups have beliefs, values and systems which define them and if any an individual need have clear mastery of these ingredients to claim membership of such group. Therefore, to effectively act and influence change in the society, the social worker need to walk and act in the values, beliefs and systems that define the office of the social worker or in other words, the discourse of the social work (Hennessey, 2015). Further, Gee argues that status and power is developed when individuals have dominant discourse (Hennessey, 2015). Therefore, the success of the social workers is born in the alter of the compromise but rather, standing in the values, code of ethics and using the language that indeed describes one as an aggressive social worker.
In the career and discourse, there are most important values, actions, language and system of the beliefs which being one need to subscribe to as the member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). NASW documents 6 ethical core values that each professional bows to and is the requirement to adhere and comply with the established values. First, social workers should be ready to offer service to humanity. According to this ethical value, the interest of the other people should be the priority and stand above the self-interest (Miller, 2018). Considering numerous social problems in society, social workers need to concentrate on providing solutions to the people and not focusing on elevation their social status. In view of this, social workers to be ready and willing to volunteer themselves for the sake of making the lives of other people better. In the process of offering service to the humanity, they should not seek to compare skills and professionalism with financial returns that they make but what should stand paramount in meeting the needs of the people (Miller, 2018).
Second, social work discourse is defined by the desire to promote social justice in society. Social workers should be driven by the desire to bring social change to th ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Human rights and social work
1. Presented by,
Seminar Group “E”
Semester:4/1
Dept. of SocialWork
Shahjalal University of Science andTechnology
2. Human rights are "commonly
understood as inalienable
fundamental rights to which
a person is inherently entitled
simply because she or he is a
human being. Human rights
are thus conceived
as universal (applicable
everywhere)
and egalitarian (the same for
everyone). These rights may
exist as natural rights or
as legal rights, in local,
regional, national,
and international law.
Social Work is the professional
activity of helping individuals,
groups, or communities enhance
or restore their capacity for
social functioning and creating
societal conditions favourable to
this goal. Social work in its
various forms addresses the
multiple, complex transactions
between people and their
environments. Its mission is to
enable all people to develop
their full potential, enrich their
lives, and prevent dysfunction.
Professional social work is
focused on problem solving and
change.
3. The term "human rights" refers
to those rights that are
considered universal to
humanity, regardless of
citizenship, residency status,
ethnicity, gender, or other
considerations.
“The social work profession
promotes social change, problem
solving in human relationships
and the empowerment and
liberation of people to enhance
well-being. Utilising theories of
human behaviour and social
systems, social work intervenes at
the points where people interact
with their environments.
Principles of human rights and
social justice are fundamental to
social work”. (International
Federation of Social workers,
IFSW: 1982)
4. Promoting Social Change.
Problem Solving in human relationships.
Empowerment and liberation of people to
enhance well-being.
Human rights and Social justice ( Principles,
Which are fundamental to Social Work ).
5. “ Social Workers respect the basic human
rights of individuals and groups as expressed
in the united nations universal declaration of
human rights and other international
conventions derived from that
declaration”(IFSW:2000).
6. Social workers should promote conditions that
encourage respect for cultural and social
diversity within the globe. Social workers should
promote policies and practices that demonstrate
respect for difference, support and expansion of
cultural knowledge and resources, advocate for
programmes and institutions that demonstrate
cultural competence and promote policies that
safeguard the rights and confirm equity and
social justice for all people.(NASW,1996: Page-
27)
(These are very Similar to Human Rights).
7. Based on established concepts and definitions of human rights, Social
workers can readily identify a connection between human rights and
their profession.
The social work profession concerns itself with helping people. Human
rights cover an entire range of political, economic and cultural needs
required to form a human society.
Social work practice based on human rights is no panacea for
discrimination, inequality, poverty and other social problems, knowledge
of human rights can help the profession better understand its role as a
helping profession.
8. 1. Social work has to be conscious of its values and
possess a solid knowledge base, not least in the field
of human rights, to guide it in many conflicting
situations throughout its practice. While social
workers through their actions may well reinforce the
rights of clients, faulty judgment can lead them to
jeopardize those rights. Viewing its work from a
global human rights perspective helps the profession
by providing a sense of unity and solidarity without
losing sight of the local perspectives, conditions and
needs which constitutes the framework within which
social workers operate.
9. 2. Social Work works to meet the basic human needs of
people. But Nowadays it works for transform “Needs”
in the “Rights” by practicing various consideration of
human rights practice on organization principle.
Working within different political systems social
workers upholds and defend the rights of their
individuals or collective clients while attempting to
meet their needs. They do this while often employed
by established, sanctioned by authority; and their
position as agents of the state or employees of
powerful institutions or agencies, has placed many in
a precarious role.
11. They help people undertake a social analysis
of where they are now.
They are often the catalyst to helping people
find and achieve change in their lives.
The process of change is through building up
trust and the social relationship with the
person making that change in their lives.
12. An ethical dilemma is a predicament where a person must
decide between two viable solutions that seem to have
similar ethical value. An ethical dilemma can occur when a
social worker has to take a moral course of action
depending upon two different moral philosophies that
conflict with each other.
The situations where social workers face some of the most
complex ethical dilemmas are where, for example, an
intervention has to be considered that might result in a
person being detained in a mental health hospital for the
safety of themselves or others, advice to a Court about
whether society may need protection from an offender, or
where a child and parent should live apart to prevent
harm.
13. Human Rights are inseparable from Social
work theory, values and ethics, and practice.
Rights corresponding to human needs. Have
to upheld and fostered and they embody the
justification and motivation for social work
action. Advocacy of such rights must
therefore be an integral part of social work,
even if in countries living under authoritarian
regimes such advocacy can have serious
consequences for Social work professionals.
