dc.description.abstract | In September 2010, social workers from across Africa and its diaspora took part in an online discussion of the extent to which there could be, or should be, a pan-African social work code of ethics. While the debate remained inconclusive, it did suggest that the time was ripe for more dedicated exploration of the nature of ethical challenges and social work responses thereto in Africa. Yet, in view of its diverse historical, social, political, economic and cultural landscapes, can ‘an African context’ even be said to exist? Is it possible to identify ethical and moral approaches that render social work in Africa distinct? If so, how sharable and meaningful is their consideration beyond African contexts? To begin responding to such questions, this special issue introduces a selection of human rights issues and ethical explorations which we hope will inspire further debate and follow-on research. | |
