Abstract

Povezanost feminističkog pristupa s teorijom i praksom socijalnog rada može se
pronaći još od začetaka profesije koja se zalaže za borbu protiv društvenih nepravdi
te zaštitu ljudskih prava i sloboda. Orijentiran je k stvaranju društvenih odnosa koji
su ravnopravniji i pružaju mogućnosti onima koji su najugroženiji da iskoriste
postojeće resurse kako bi unaprijedili svoj položaj. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati
doprinos feminističkog pristupa u socijalnom radu, naglašavajući da se feminizam
kao društveno-politička opcija ne tiče isključivo žena.
Uvažavanje ženske perspektive temelji se na promišljanju rodnih uloga i
osvješćivanja ugnjetavajućih društvenih struktura koje stoje iza osobnih problema
svih subordiniranih pojedinaca i grupa potiskujući ih u privatnu stvarnost. Također,
stvara senzibilizaciju za različite karakteristike korisnika s obzirom na spol, dob,
rasu, klasu, etnicitet, invaliditet, seksualnu orijentaciju, ali i za individualne razlike
koje postoje među njima.
U ovom radu su prikazane osnovne postavke feminističkog pristupa i socijalnog
rada, njihov usporedni povijesni razvoj, ali i osnovni koncepti osnaživanja,
socijalnog konstruktivizma i multikulturalizma koji su važni za razumijevanje
utjecaja feminističke misli unutar djelatnosti socijalnog rada. Posebna je pozornost
posvećena istraživanju problema nasilja nad ženama u obitelji i u partnerskom
odnosu i ograničenim dosezima u njegovu suzbijanju.

Abstract (english)

The connection between the feminist approach with the social work theory and
practice can be found since the inception of the profession that is committed to the
fight against social injustice and protection of human rights and freedoms. It is
oriented towards the creation of social relations that are equitable and provides
opportunities to those who are most vulnerable to exploit existing resources in order
to enhance their position. The aim of this paper is to analyze the contribution of the
feminist approach in social work, pointing out that feminism as a socio-political
option does not concern only women.
Respect for women's perspective is based on the consideration of gender roles
and awareness of the oppressive social structures that stands behind personal
problems of subordinated individuals and groups suppressing them in the private
reality. It also creates a sensitivity to client’s various features in terms of gender,
age, race, class, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, but also to individual
differences that exist between them.
This paper presents the fundamental provisions of the feminist approach and
social work, their comparative historical development, as well as basic concepts of
empowerment, social constructivism and multiculturalism that are important for
understanding the impact of feminist thought within social work activities. Special
attention is given to the research of the problem of violence against women in the
family and in partnership and limited achievements in its suppression.
