Structural Social Work

Image source: http:/ / pliszka.com/ msw/ practice.html Structural Social Work overlaps with Anti-Oppressive Practice, Queer Theory and Feminism.

SLIDE 16

Oppressive Structures

For less wealthy people requiring credit, their boat and paddle will cost more

than if they were wealthy and did not need credit.

Denial of systemic issues (i.e., refusal to research the reasons why people are

dying).

The charity model presented only saves people once they’re drowning.
Bad policy (i.e., swimming lessons without rescue lessons).
Education only available to privileged.
Stereotyping (i.e., too lazy to be prepared) and victim blaming (i.e., it’s their

fault).

Punitive laws and jail.
