Ljudska prava iz perspektive studenata i praktičara u Hrvatskoj

Synergy between human rights standards and social work has been always significant for social work education and practice. Challenges for social work profession in order to protect human rights for needy in times of social injustice, political and economical changes and migrations, as is the case in the South East European countries for last few years are intensive and permanent. Therefore, education of social work students should provide the knowledge and opportunity to them to develop sensibility for population that is exposed to the different risks and whose human rights are jeopardized. On the other side, practitioners have an obligation to actively participate in providing basic life conditions for the needy and to advocate for the people whose human rights are not protected. The aim of this study was to examine the application of human rights standards in social work practice in Croatia. Participants of this quantitative research were 316 students of social work at the University of Zagreb (310 female, 10 male) and 173 practitioners (162 female, 11 male) who work in social welfare system. Internet survey was used as the method of collecting data. In research were used following questionnaires developed by McPherson and Abell: Human Rights Engagement in Social Work, Human Rights Exposure in Social Work, Human Rights Lens in Social Work, Human Rights Methods in Social Work. Data analysis carried out using SPSS program. Results have shown that in students’ population are representatives of 4 year B.A. social work program and M.A social work program. 73, % of them participated in the internship during their social work education. Results will show that students with more practice and knowledge gave higher estimates on the scales of human rights engagements in social work and applied human rights methods in social work. Results on the sample of practitioners have shown that highest estimates on the human rights exposure scale gave practitioners with more years of work experience. In conclusions promotion of human rights and the integration of rights-based methods into social work education and practice will be discussed.
