Abstract:
“Social work is a professional practice that promotes social change, development, and empowerment. It focuses on addressing challenges and fostering well-being within individuals and communities. According to the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), social work "promotes social change, problem-solving in human relationships, and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being”. The field integrates theories of human behaviour and social systems, utilizing various methods such as case work, group work, and most importantly, community organization to bring about societal improvements.”
