Human Rights and Social Justice: Social Action and Service for the Helping and Health Professions

Offering a unique perspective that views human rights as the foundation of social justice, Joseph Wronka’s groundbreaking <strong>Human Rights and Social Justice</strong> outlines human rights and social justice concerns as a powerful conceptual framework for policy and practice interventions for the helping and health professions. This highly accessible, interdisciplinary text urges the creation of a human rights culture as a “lived awareness” of human rights principles, including human dignity, nondiscrimination, civil and political rights, economic, social, and cultural rights, and solidarity rights. The <strong>Second Edition</strong> includes numerous social action activities and questions for discussion to help scholars, activists, and practitioners promote a human rights culture and the overall well-being of populations across the globe.
