Gender competence is also a central professional characteristic in social work, which has become particularly evident in the context of the institutionalization of the gender mainstreaming strategy. Gender competence raises awareness of gender relations and their effects in everyday life. In social work, it becomes clear how gender-structural conditions determine life opportunities and life plans. The acquisition of gender competence occurs on the scientific, individual, and biographical levels, as well as on the action level. The goal of imparting gender competence in social work is to qualify professionals for a gender-conscious approach to clients and institutions. The volume presents the fundamentals of the topic on one hand and analyzes practical detail aspects on the other.
