Empowerment of women in poverty situations in rural China: Acase study of the role of social work

Since research shows that Western knowledge cannot be uncritically appropriated into social work in indigenous societies such as China, this project will contribute to the development of relevant definitions of empowerment-oriented social work on a global level.
