This World day of Social Justice IASSW/HRSJ committee brings to you a list of resources for all social work students and educators . We have identified a sample of sources in relation to social work and social justice. We acknowledge these may not be accessible to some educators and schools of social work, for example, because of language, because of cost. However, we have tried to present a broad range of sources and identify some sources which are available online for free.
