Abstract

Siromaštvo predstavlja globalni problem današnjice. Brojni autori slažu se kako je siromaštvo višedimenzionalan fenomen te ga nije moguće jednoznačno definirati. Najčešće se na siromaštvo gleda kroz prizmu nedostatka materijalnih sredstava, no važno je promatrati siromaštvo i iz kuta temeljnih ljudskih prava. Premda su temeljna ljudska prava zajamčena svima samom činjenicom što smo ljudska bića, u praksi se često može vidjeti da su brojna prava prekršena. Pandemija virusa Covid-19 dodatno je produbila probleme ionako ranjivih skupina. Profesija socijalnog rada u svom se radu susreće upravo s tim ranjivim skupinama te ima zadaću takve korisnike osnažiti i pomoći im da prevladaju teškoće i postignu bolju kvalitetu života. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati stanje u području siromaštva i ljudskih prava s osvrtom na određenje ovih fenomena, ključne pokazatelje siromaštva na globalnoj, europskoj i nacionalnoj razini, utjecaj pandemije Covid-19 na siromaštvo i ljudska prava te koja je uloga socijalnog rada u svemu tome. Na samom kraju radu prikazani su ključni dokumenti i preporuke za borbu protiv siromaštva u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

Poverty is a global problem today. Numerous authors agree that poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and it is not possible to define it unambiguously. Most often, poverty is seen through the prism of lack of material resources, but it is important to look at poverty from the angle of fundamental human rights as well. Although fundamental human rights are guaranteed to everyone by the very fact that we are human beings, in practice it can often be seen that numerous rights are violated. The Covid-19 pandemic further deepened the problems of already vulnerable groups. In its work, the profession of social work meets precisely these vulnerable groups and has the task of empowering such users and helping them to overcome difficulties and achieve a better quality of life. The aim of this work is to present the situation in the field of poverty and human rights with reference to the determination of these phenomena, the key indicators of poverty at the global, European and national level, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on poverty and human rights, and the role of social work in all of this. At the very end of the paper, key documents and recommendations for the fight against poverty in the Republic of Croatia are presented.
