Ghaderi, Cinur; Sonnenberg, Kristin; Saleh Karim, Luqman; Namiq Sabir, Niyan; Abbas Qader, Zhiya; Dünnebacke, Lisa Marie

The book presents a theoretical and practical approach to international social work. It uses examples from Germany with a long tradition of social work and focuses on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which is in a pioneering phase in teaching social work while at the same time experiencing a highly explosive situation in global politics. Socio-political challenges such as violence, traumatization, (religious) fundamentalism, ethnicization, changing gender relations, flight and migration call for a professional examination of social work as a human rights profession in international comparison.
