The International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) expresses its solidarity with social workers in Iran who continue to serve their communities amid escalating hostilities affecting civilians and infrastructure.
As reflected in recent communications from the Iran Association of Social Workers, colleagues across the country are providing essential care, protection, and psychosocial support to those affected. Their work embodies the profession’s core values of human dignity, social justice, and wellbeing.
IFSW recognises the dedication and courage of social workers in Iran and emphasises the importance of ensuring their safety, professional independence, and the protection of all people in vulnerable situations. We stand in solidarity with them and with all social workers working in challenging contexts worldwide, united in advancing human rights and more just, inclusive, and peaceful societies.
