Abstract

Social work is committed to the advancement of human rights and social justice. One strategy for promoting social justice is to inculcate a human rights-based approach to social work practice. Using ubuntu as a theorical framework, this article initially explores social exclusion and the accompanying stigma that homeless people experience; it then examines how social workers could apply the principles of ubuntu to re-inscribe homeless people’s human rights. A qualitative study was undertaken with 14 participants who were purposively selected and also identified through snowball sampling. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. Principles of credibility, transferability, dependability and conformability were judiciously adhered to in the research process. The findings indicate that homeless people are the most marginalised population of the community and they are exploited in a variety of ways.
无家可归者的社会排斥和边缘化:呼唤乌班图精神的社会工作号角
社会工作致力于促进人权和社会正义。促进社会正义的一项战略是向社会工作实践灌输基于人权的方法。本文以“ubuntu”为理论框架,首先探讨了无家可归者所经历的社会排斥和伴随而来的耻辱;然后,它研究了社会工作者如何应用乌班图原则来重新记录无家可归者的人权。对14名参与者进行了定性研究,这些参与者是有意选择的,也是通过雪球抽样确定的。通过半结构化访谈收集数据并进行主题分析。在研究过程中,我们明智地遵循了可信性、可转移性、可靠性和一致性原则。调查结果表明,无家可归者是社区中最边缘化的人群,他们受到各种方式的剥削。
