IFSW United Nations Commission – Statement "Women 2000: Gender Equality, Development, and Peace for the Twenty-First Century
" Women in poverty urgently need greater economic opportunity and adequate mechanisms of economic and social support bolstered by social protection policies, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure, and resources that do not require them to depend on a husband’s assets and enable them to care adequately for family members who might depend on them"
IFSW Secretary-General Rory Truell commended the Federation’s UN Commission for ensuring there is a social work voice at the highest level. He said, “The United Nations are increasingly aware of the success of social work’s contributions to the SDG objectives. Social work has a unique and essential role in facilitating community self-led development with a strong ethical framework that promotes equality, rights and shared futures. The IFSW UN Commission brings these important messages to the highest level of political forums reflecting social work practice in communities throughout the world. Congratulations to the IFSW UN Commission.”

We have started the chain of events in Kampala with a meeting with the social work students of 17 world countries!
Dr. Noel Muridzo, IFSW Africa President, has said to the students "having young people in the Conference is a guarantee that our fighting for social justice has a continuity. IFSW nor our national associations can not develop any plan or any strategy without having students in mind"
IFSW President, Dr. Silvana Martinez has shared with students the relevance of including their voices in the next Global Agenda 2020 - 2030 and has invited them to share their vision for the future of social work through our website. 
Dr. Rory Truell, IFSW Secretary-General has also talked with the social work students and empathized that: " Together, through creating a common vision and shared strategies students, communities, social workers, agencies and the international profession can meet the challenges. IFSW will assist you and support you in the journey you take in your countries for development and the realization of confident and strong communities and socieities"
Many thanks to Byamukama Michael, President of the National Association of Social Workers of Uganda -Naswu for facilitating this workshop and to all countries that contribute to the discussions.
