BASW Celebrates International Women's Day

Today is International Women's Day- an opportunity to celebrate the achievements, contributions, activism, and leadership of women and girls everywhere, including in social work.

It is a day to join together and celebrate the achievements of women across the world - and in particular BASW is proud to celebrate the inspirational achievements of women in social work as well as those with lived experience who support the profession.

It’s also a day to recognise and challenge the continuing discrimination, bias and inequality faced by women in too many aspects of our society.

This year’s theme is “Embrace Equity”. We all have a responsibility to actively support, embrace and strive for gender equity.

BASW will always champion and promote equality, diversity and inclusion throughout our work together with our members and the wider social work community. We must continue to call out gender stereotypes and elevate the positive visibility of women to forge a truly gender equal world, where everyone can realise their potential.

We are proud to share some resources, articles, blogs and podcasts produced by women in social work:
