In A Human Rights-Based Approach to Justice in Social Work Practice, Shirley Gatenio Gabel presents a human rights-based approach toward justice in social work practice that is more in line with social work's roots and the intentions of its founders. Using a rights-based approach, readers learn how to advocate for justice, how to analyze issues of oppression and equity, and why it is integral to social work practice to fight for justice. Exercises, case examples, and reflection activities are included to encourage critical thinking and application of rights-based approaches that include participation, non-discrimination, equity, accountability, and transparency in issues involving social, economic, and environmental justice.
