摘要

In the small East African country of Rwanda, social work continues to face significant social challenges more than 30 years after the genocide. Alongside trauma and persistent social conflicts between former perpetrators and survivors of the genocide and their descendants, poverty remains one of the most pressing problems. The country is governed in an extremely authoritarian manner, which severely limits the profession’s ability to exert influence on socio-political affairs. Despite these difficult structural circumstances and prevailing political violence, social workers are deeply committed to supporting vulnerable groups, promoting human rights, and fostering social cohesion. The article provides examples of social work approaches that address poverty reduction, reconciliation, and trauma healing in affected communities.
