Feminist Social Work

Feminist social work is an approach that recognizes and addresses how gender inequalities and power dynamics affect individuals’ well-being. It aims to challenge societal norms and injustices that disadvantage women and marginalized groups, advocating for equality and empowerment. This perspective emphasizes listening to women's voices, promoting social change, and ensuring services are sensitive to gender-specific issues. Ultimately, feminist social work seeks to create a fairer society where all individuals have equal opportunities and support, acknowledging the interconnectedness of gender, race, class, and other identities.
