What is International Social worker?

An international social worker is responsible for assisting communities and individuals across the globe,
often regardless of international borders. They focus their efforts on whatever task is deemed to be
critical in order to achieve the goals set forth by various international organizations.

International social workers move all over the world to protect against social injustices, violations of civil
liberties, human rights violations, crisis intervention and problems from poverty.

physical and mental wellbeing. They can also assist women in seeking resources available to
them. Some social workers focus specifically on sex trafficking and help to protect and educate
women at high risk.

health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters,
war, and other conflicts.

In this organization International social workers focused on protecting children often travel to
regions with high birth rates and high levels of poverty. They may spend their days assisting
mothers with cooking duties, feeding children, or helping school children with homework. Direct
medical aid (like providing vaccines) is an important job left to those with medical training;
however, a social worker can help by recruiting communities and comforting individuals when
receiving care.
