Abstract [en]

Social work is commonly known as an agent of social change for achieving social justice. In fact, social justice is one of the founding values of social work. Several researchers have conceptualized social justice from distributional, recognitional and associational dimensions, in order to allow for a broader understanding of freedom from oppression, exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism and violence (Young 1990, Fraser 1997, Gewirtz 2006). However, Morgaine (2014) argues that social justice as a concept remains valueless unless social workers have clear practical orientations towards its use for achieving emancipation/liberation of the marginalized, vulnerable individuals and groups from injustices and oppressive agencies, forces as well as structures.
