International Social Workers Day.

PHILIPSBURG:--- Community Development, Family, and Humanitarian (CDFHA), a department within the Ministry of Public Health, Social Development, and Labour (VSA), celebrates International Social Worker’s Day with the theme “Buen Vivir: Shared Future for Transformative Change.”

The International Federation of Social Workers indicated that this year’s theme emphasizes the need for social workers to adopt innovative, community-led approaches that champion a future where communities and nature coexist in harmony to create a shared, sustainable future. This theme fits the current aspirations and challenges of social workers globally. As we face environmental damages, multiple crises, poverty, and inequality, social work must continue to operate, develop, and evolve innovative, transformative, community-led approaches. The principle of Buen Vivir emphasized that true well-being can be achieved when communities live in peace with nature and collaborate for balanced growth.

World Social Work Day is observed on the third Tuesday of March worldwide. This annual international event celebrates the role of social workers and their contributions to society. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the value of social workers in our communities and how their work enhances people’s lives.

Social work is a practical profession in which trained professionals help vulnerable individuals and communities. Social workers are professionals who hold a bachelor’s degree in social work and who provide guidance, support, interventions, and other services to assist individuals in finding the appropriate resources for their needs and challenges in life.

They also encourage social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Their roles and responsibilities are performed at three interrelated levels: micro (individuals), mezzo (groups), and macro (institutions and communities).

In closing, on this World Social Workers Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to promoting social justice and supporting the most vulnerable members of our society. Together, let us continue to advocate for positive change and strive towards building a more inclusive and equitable world for all. CDFHA, and by extension, the Ministry of VSA, would like to express their gratitude to all social workers for their dedication and compassion in making a difference in the lives of others.

Happy Social Worker’s Day.
