Sažetak
Although organized education for social work in Croatia began in 1952 by opening of the High School for social workers in Zagreb, humanitarian and social activities, having social work elements can be clearly recognized from the beginning of the 20th century. Children, especially those poor and without adequate parental care were the one particular population category round which forces were mobilized for some very important social actions in the beginning of the 20th century. The high infant mortality rate, child vagabonding and delinquent activities moved not only prominent individuals, but also state authorities to undertake activities by which children would be protected. Thus, J. Šilović was meritorious for the passing of the Law on Compulsory Education of the Under Age (1902) and Law on Protection of Children and Youth (1922). The key humanitarian organizations and their social actions will be presented, as well as the child care institutions and no institutional child welfare for which we consider to have contributed to social work development in Croatia. The People's Protection Association and the action of temporary relocation of hung stricken children from Dalmatia, Istria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, disregarding their religion ; to more prosperous parts of Croatia from 1916 to 1918 led by Dj. Basaricek can be mentioned. The circumstances in which the care for children mobilized the state on action will be discussed. Gender perspective will be also considered.
