Women in Social Work

Women in Social Work is a social and advocacy group comprised of students who wish to serve as a supportive base for women in the School of Social Policy & Practice. The purpose of the group is to deal with women's issues in the social work profession, the influence of sexism in society, and to explore feminist ideology in a modern context. Women in Social Work plans programs solely and in collaboration with other organizations around issues concerning women. Women in Social Work promotes the exploration of women's issues by showing national and international films on a bimonthly basis that explore universal issues including: female roles, feminism, sexuality, cultural identity, sexism, heterosexism, racism, and poverty.
