Evidence for the impact of the human rights-based approach in social policy and programming: A scoping review
Human rights-based approaches in social welfare policy and social services are thought to improve the well-being of individuals, groups, communities, and society. But do they? This scoping review of the impact of human rights-based approaches yielded 34 geographically diverse studies, reviewed according to three key categories: commitment to human rights instruments and legal advocacy, policy and program outcomes, and community action and organiz…

Moving social work from international social work to global social work through aligning SDG principles and social work education standards
Much as the Sustainable Development Goals represent an evolution in shared global responsibility for development from the Millennium Development Goals, social work education can evolve from considering ‘international social work’ to thinking of ‘global social work.’ This evolution would consider social issues as shared across national borders rather than isolated to a nation or region and that all social workers, regardless of their home nation, …

Looking Back to Move Us Forward: Social Workers Deliver Justice as Human Rights Professionals
Social work was a progressive profession at its founding, and social workers sought to transform people's lives through wide-ranging reforms and work with individuals and communities. Over time, social work has evolved into a more conservative profession. Social workers have perpetuated oppressive policies, structures, and practices that marginalize vulnerable populations. This paper revisits the history of our profession and presents a human rig…

Vare sig det handlar om olyckshändelser, terroristattacker eller krigshandlingar finns risken att byggnader i samhället utsätts för explosioner. Huruvida hänsyn tas till detta vid dimensionering och analys av en byggnad beror bland annat på hur stor risken är för att en sådan last ska uppkomma samt hur stor skada denna kan tillåtas orsaka på byggnaden, dess inventarier och på personer i eller i närheten av byggnaden. Att responsen för en struktur…

Social Work Is a Human Rights Profession
As defined by the International Federation of Social Workers, social work is a human rights profession. This is explicitly stated in the professional codes of ethics in many nations. However, the most recent version of the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers continues to exclude any mention of human rights, fitting in with the history of U.S. exceptionalism on this subject. Social workers around the world have a long hist…

Benefits of Multidimensional Measures of Child Well Being in China
In recent decades, measures of child well-being have evolved from single dimension to multidimensional measures. Multi-dimensional measures deepen and broaden our understanding of child well-being and inform us of areas of neglect. Child well-being in China today is measured through proxy measures of household need. This paper discusses the evolution of child well-being measures more generally, explores the benefits of positive indicators and mul…

Government Abuses of Human Rights
Investing in Children: Public Commitment in Twenty‐one Industrialized Countries
Using time series and survey data, this article explores public commitment to children and their families from 1980 through 2001 in 21 industrialized countries. Despite the shrinking child population in all countries and the slowed growth of the welfare state in most, the authors find that spending on children and families has increased in most countries. The authors conclude that the instruments and goals of the family benefit and service packag…

This article evaluates how evolving social policies for very young children and their families affect the marginalisation of Roma children from mainstream Bulgarian society. The Roma (or ‘gypsies’) have long been ostracised by various societies and since the fall of communism in 1989 have become increasingly vulnerable to income poverty and social exclusion. The exclusion of Roma threatens Bulgaria's economic and political growth because the Roma…

Given global demographic and social trends, the need for new policy and program responses is essential. This article identifies and describes new and traditional social risks affecting children and their families in both industrialized and developing countries by region. Traditional risks continue in the developing as well as the industrialized countries but the extent and scale are very different and the problems are far more severe in developin…

Social protection and children in developing countries
Social protection and children's rights in developing countries
Children are one of the most vulnerable groups in almost any population because of their physical and emotional dependence on adults and social status. Their vulnerability is greater in many developing countries because of the higher incidence of poverty and nascent social protection mechanisms. Social protection can serve as a tool to perpetuate inequities or can be used to promote human rights, equality, and inclusiveness. This paper looks at h…
