Özet:

Collective consciousness, which develops towards the necessity of protecting human dignity inherent in all human beings, andining some of their rights or protecting even some of their rights, is the concept of human rights, one of the greatest achievements of the twentieth century. These rights, which are the products of human needs, showed historical development by being classified as First, Second, Third and Fourth Generation Rights. On the other hand, social work, which has a welfare-oriented approach, aims to maximize the use of inherent rights that people have in its theoretical and applied studies. In this sense, it is not possible to separate human rights from the social work profession. Therefore, it may be explained as a significant objective for this article to pursue the goal of explaining the relationship between human rights and social work and providing new insights into the concept of human rights in the national social work literature. The fact that social workers refer to the concept of human rights by considering social work values in their professional practices is also ensured by their advocacy roles in equality in social rights, social justice, and social welfare policies. The advocacy of human rights, social justice, and social welfare policies needs to be meticulously addressed, as most social workers accept that the profession is built on these concepts. Social workers know that all services to be offered and interventions to be made, regardless of which client group they encounter in the fields of application, are related to human rights. Therefore, there is a common fate in the interactions between human rights and social work.
