In 2016 almost 39,000 Muslim refugees entered the United States, representing a record of admissions during a time of elevated anti-Muslim political rhetoric and public sentiment. Anti-Muslim attitudes and policies can affect refugees' ability to successfully resettle and contribute to decreased health status. Given the current social and political moment there is an ethical imperative for social workers to engage in resistance to anti-Muslim sentiment and the encoding of Islamophobia in resettlement policy. In this article, the authors explore constraints on resettlement social workers' engagement with advocacy and make suggestions for ethical practice that promotes social and emotional well-being.
2016年，近3.9万名穆斯林难民进入美国，这是在反穆斯林政治言论和公众情绪高涨时期的入境人数纪录。反穆斯林态度和政策会影响难民成功重新安置的能力，并导致健康状况下降。鉴于当前的社会和政治形势，社会工作者在道德上有必要抵制反穆斯林情绪以及重新安置政策中对伊斯兰恐惧症的固化。在本文中，作者探讨了重新安置社会工作者参与倡导工作的制约因素，并提出了促进社会和情感福祉的道德实践建议。
