Trabajo Social con enfoque de derechos: implicaciones y disputas de sentido

Abstract

My interest in this work lies in expanding the issue of Human Rights and rights focused on emancipation and decolonization. Accordingly, my purpose is to seek answers to the following questions: What do we understand by the words Human Rights from a Social Work viewpoint? What are the directional disputes and commitments assumed from the Social Work point of view? What does Social Work with a focus on rights imply? Initially I refer to the need and the political urgency of working on the concepts and categories used by social workers. Secondly, I address the mutual link between Social Work and Human Rights in International Social Work and Social Work in Argentina, the meanings, singularities and directional disputes produced within the framework of professional organizations. Finally, in order to continue contributing to this problem and to group debate, I provide some insight into the meaning of Human Rights and the focus on rights for emancipatory Social Work.
