Social Worker Day is celebrated in different countries on different dates, but in most cases, this holiday falls in March. In the United States, it is celebrated on the second Saturday in March, while in other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, the holiday may fall on different days in March. This day is dedicated to recognizing and honoring professionals working in the field of social work.

Social work as a profession began to develop in the late 19th century, when there was a need to help people facing social and economic difficulties. In 1921, the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) was founded, which was an important step in the recognition of social work as a profession at the international level.

Social Worker Day serves to recognize the contribution of social workers to improving the lives of people and communities. These professionals help people cope with difficult life situations, provide support and protect rights.

This day is often marked by events dedicated to current social policy issues, such as poverty, homelessness, domestic violence and mental health. This helps to draw attention to important social issues and necessary changes.

The event also serves as an opportunity for social workers to share their stories, discuss the challenges and successes of their work, and receive support from colleagues and the community.
