Abstract

<p>Anti-oppressive practice(AOP)is currently one of the key concepts in the field of social work practice. This article covers how AOP is used in the current Canadian social work context. To fully understand the Canadian context, the author first reviewed Canadian perspectives on critical social work and AOP. Then, the author analyzed job postings in Canadian resource/recruiting websites for non-profit organizations to illustrate the meanings and usage of AOP in Canada. How child welfare organizations in Ontario, Canada introduced AOP in their policies was also examined. From these findings and several interviews that were conducted, it became clear that although AOP is not mainstream, it is used and the knowledge and skills of AOP are required in different fields of social work. The author argues the possibility of AOP to be used in social work as a means of questioning today's social structure and tackling discrimination and inequality in Japanese social work practice.</p>
