Resumen
The evolution of social work as a human right profession is rooted in a legacy of struggle against a supremacist ideology that legitimized colonialism with its fascist and racist character. Social work is often understood as promoting social change, the emancipation and liberation of people. Indeed, this chapter will highlight how many early framers of human rights in social work were anti-colonialists who asserted humanistic values that upheld the dignity and equality of all people. Whilst this is true, there appears to be resistance to acknowledging and remembering the professions' complicity with processes, practices and systems which destroyed people, places and prospects through colonisation, oppression and subjugation. The chapter addresses this part of social work history, too.
