This study seeks to analyze education in human rights for Social Work from the perspective of international standards. The curricula of schools of Social Work in universities in Chile are analyzed through a mixed methodology. The sample was made up of a total of 32 universities and 158 subject programs. The findings show a total of 116 references to human rights international standards in the programs analyzed. However, these are distributed unevenly according to the category analyzed. The results suggest a low presence of human rights content according to international standards. Finally, recommendations are provided for further development of human rights education in educational programs of social work.
