Reclaiming humanity for asylum-seekers: A social work response

Article Abstract:

Social work with refugees and asylum-seekers is confronted with new social policies that challenge fundamentally its humanitarian and espoused human rights stance. Social work requires a broad holistic and community-based approach, working collaboratively with others and the international domain provides opportunities for social workers to condemn policies and practices that are contrary to the profession's mission.
