On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the women who lead, advocate, heal, and transform communities every day. Women make up the majority of the social work profession and they’re advancing equity, strengthening families, shaping policy, and standing on the frontlines of change. #IWD

During Women’s History Month, #NASW honors the women who have shaped social work! We appreciate the countless women who continue to lead, advocate, and transform communities every day. Their legacy is resilience. Their impact is lasting. Their work moves us forward.
