What is the difference between anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice (in Social work)?
Oppression is an atmosphere – discrimination is an action. Therefore, anti-oppressive practices will focus on eradicating a climate that leads clients to feel inadequate, underserved, ignored, etc…. and anti-discriminative practice means the social worker will not treat a client differently because of age, race, sex, etc…. Hope this helps – I tried to simplify it for you.
