Part A (Q4): Delineate the role of social worker in promoting social justice.

Social workers are the foot soldiers of social justice. Their role includes:

1. Advocacy: Speaking up for marginalized clients (e.g., Dalits, undocumented immigrants, disabled individuals) who cannot speak for themselves, ensuring they receive the services and rights they are legally entitled to.
2. Community Mobilization: Organizing oppressed communities (like slum dwellers or female laborers) to form unions or self-help groups, empowering them to collectively fight for their rights against systemic exploitation.
3. Policy Intervention: Using data gathered from direct practice to lobby lawmakers, challenging discriminatory laws, and advocating for more equitable welfare policies at the macro level.
4. Conscientization: Educating marginalized groups about the structural causes of their poverty, helping them realize it is a systemic failure, not a personal flaw, thereby empowering them to demand justice.
