Feminist Theory

As a profession, social work is committed to the uniqueness of every individual, within his or her social situation. Feminist theory takes into account the role of gender and the historical lack of power experienced by women in society. Feminism and social work share a commitment to the unique nature and essential dignity of all people. Feminist social workers emphasize the collaborative relationship between the social worker and the client and place an emphasis on equality and empowerment of women in society.

This week, you compare how various feminist theories inform social work practice, and you apply feminist theories to a family video case study.
