Socioeconomically Vulnerable Women from a Social Work Perspective: A Theoretical and Practical Study

Abstrak

Women living in socioeconomically vulnerable conditions face various forms of structural vulnerability, such as poverty, gender inequality, and limited access to social and economic resources. This article theoretically and practically examines how social work responds to the issues faced by women in such situations. Using feminist theory, social ecology theory, and empowerment approaches, the article explores social work intervention strategies at the micro (individual and family), mezzo (group and community), and macro (advocacy and policy) levels. Findings indicate that empowerment-based interventions, community participation, and gender-responsive policy advocacy are key to improving women's well-being. This study recommends strengthening the role of social work in building sustainable and inclusive support systems for socioeconomically vulnerable women.
