Social workers recognize the global interconnections of oppression and are knowledgeable about theories of justice and strategies to promote human and civil rights. Social work incorporates social justice practices in organizations, institutions, and society to ensure that these basic human rights are distributed equitably and without prejudice.

This is demonstrated by the following practice behaviors:

1. a.      understand the forms and mechanisms of oppression and discrimination
2. b.      advocate for human rights and social and economic justice
3. c.       engage in practices that advance social and economic justice
