Social Work: A Fight for Justice

Social work isn't just about being a nice person who helps people. It's a political

fight. We often picture social work as helping one person at a time,

but that's only half the story. A justice-focused approach challenges the very systems

that create problems like poverty and oppression. It’s about understanding how power,

history, and context shape our lives and create inequality. This means social

work is a contested process, not a neutral one. It questions why things are the way

they are, instead of just accepting them. To create real change, you need your head,

heart, and hands—to understand, to care, and to act.
