COVID-19 pandemic through the human rights perspective Robert Kudakwashe Chigangaidze School of Social Work, Midlands State University COVID-19socio-economic human rights health developmental-clinical social work socio-economic inequalities Abstract Human rights are essential in shaping the pandemic response both for the public health emergency and the broader impact on people’s well-being. Utilizing the human rights lenses, this article expatiates on a developmental-clinical social work approach to the COVID-19 pandemic response. The disquisition explores human rights to health, education, adequate food and nutrition, water and sanitation, and development. It conducts projections and a cost–benefit analysis of remedial and developmental focus on health. The paper emphasizes that it is criminal to deprive human beings of their entitlements. The paper argues that socio-economic inequalities deprive people of their human rights. To this end, it calls for the equal distribution of wealth to end poverty and ultimately address human rights concerns. It advances for the integration of health in all policies. The article calls for the social work profession and other helping professions to rethink of their priorities in the enhancement of people’s welfare: either to be an agent of social control or an agent of social change. Social work should face the socio-economic inequalities head-on if it is to truly reflect its professional philosophy of social justice. 61 1 15 35 2023-03-29T06:42:01Z 2023-03-29T06:42:01Z 2022-03-03 research article https://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/5488 https://doi.org/10.1080/00981389.2022.2027847 en Social Work in Health Care 0098-1389. open Taylor and Francis Online |
