Abstract

The authors explore the complexities of human dignity, analyze human dignity as a concept and its position within the framework of today’s social work practices. In this regard, the authors ponder upon diverse understanding of human dignity, including human dignity as a socio-legal value and its importance to social work in general and to other principal values relevant for social work. They examine the evolution of social work approaches towards human dignity while focusing on social work related international organizations and their national members’ and partners’ work to promote and uphold human dignity in delivery processes of social services.
