Spirituality, social work, and female empowerment: an instrument for social change

Abstract

Throughout this chapter, readers will be able to take a tour of the skills and strategies of social workers in working with women, from a spiritual perspective. Caring for, accompanying and empowering from a gender perspective are tasks rooted in this profession, focused on caring for the other. From spirituality, the work of social work professionals will be based on helping them to be protagonists of their own lives, also contributing to the transformation of social structures and discourses that consider that women have already achieved effective equality and are fighting for it to be achieved in a real way.
