“…The present study might be seen as a response to calls by scholars for more study of the role of social workers in improving equality in health (e.g., Blyth, 2008; Bywaters, 2009; McLeod & Bywaters, 1999; Nadkarni, 2006; Payne, 2006).

In this study I explored the perceptions and responses of Jewish Israeli social workers to the health inequalities facing their Arab clients. Findings drawn from face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 26 Jewish Israeli social workers employed in the health field show that they were highly aware of the health inequalities. Although they uniformly insisted that there was no discrimination in the hospitals where they were employed, they observed extensive structural and individual discrimination outside the hospital and linguistic and sociocultural impediments to health equality within it. The discrimination provoked feelings of anger and moral outrage, guilt, and shame. Both the discrimination and the linguistic and sociocultural impediments filled them with frustration and led them, both individually and in concert with colleagues, to try to alleviate, circumvent, correct, or compensate for the impediments. Suggestions are made for practice and further research.

Moreover, in defence of CEDAW, many of these dangers affect women and children as Blyth (2008) vividly sets out in a review of sexual health and a range of mutilating practices undertaken without consent in unsterile conditions.…”

We are so pleased to see this special issue on disabilities come to fruition. Having been discussed for years, it is also rewarding to know that the CSWE Council on Social Work Education Council on Disability and Persons with Disabilities was able to participate in a meaningful way and serve as a catalyst for the project's completion. The Council functions to develop social work education resources that are related to issues surrounding disability and the experiences of individuals with disabilities; to facilitate the full participation of people with disabilities in social work education; and to advocate for inclusion of social, political, and economic matters involving disability and individuals with disabilities in the framework of social work education. Thank you to all the individuals who contributed to the completion of this critical issue of the Journal.
