Contributing to consolidate the building of an ethical-political position of Social Work in front of the violence against women and children in families

Abstract

This article seeks to make contributions to the consolidation of the political and ethical stance of the Social Workers about violence against women and children. In this way, I take aspects relating to the ethical and political dimension of social work, the contributions from feminism as theory and movement, expose for showing violence against women as a public and social problem. Then I present how I think these elements contribute to the fundamentation of Social Work`s relationship to human rights and ethical and political sense for the generation processes of change and social transformation toward a more democratic and equitable society
